I was very sad to hear of Roger’s passing. I worked closely with Roger on several projects. Even when we were negotiating from competing perspectives, he was such a pleasure to work with and call a friend. My deepest sympathies to his family.

So sorry to hear of Rogers passing. I graduated high school with Roger and so enjoyed reuniting with him during our 50th class reunion. Roger was always a great guy. Prayers to the Marvel family.
Pastor Kaiser made announcement in church, so very sorry to hear that news. Roger was such a nice, friendly person . God Bless everyone.
Uncle Roger, your sense of humor and love of family are so inspiring to me. One of my earliest memories is the time you boosted me up onto the tractor and let me “drive”. One of my fondest is when you came to see me in college and took me out for a real meal! I will miss you so very much.
Sorry to hear of Rodgers passing, he was an honest man with a good heart.
Our heartfelt sympathy to all of Roger’s family. Was so sorry to hear the news of his passing. Roger was our Senior class president and a great friend to those of us who attended Valparaiso Public School with him. It was good seeing him at our 50 year class reunion in 2016. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
Our sincere sympathy to Roger’s family. Roger was such a dear sweet person. He was a good friend of my brother Leo and like another brother to me. Hope Roger & Leo are together cruising heaven in a ‘cool’ car.
