Your sense of humour and Wit had everyone laughing, you were my daily entertainment. You never took me on the Caribbean’s cruise you always promised me, not even a day trip to Barmouth!
It was a pleasure to know you XXX
Sending our sincerest condolences to Donna, Dean& all Roger’s lovely family & friends.
I thoroughly enjoyed working for & with Roger & Phylis for many years in the rugby club. I have many many found memories. Such a hardworking, honest, loyal humorous gentleman, who adored his family.
Well now you are reunited with your gorgeous wife Phylis. A very special united couple & great team. You will be watching over your beloved family.
It was a pleasure working with you & getting to know you & your lovely family over the decades.
You will be sorely missed. God rest your soul & rest easy, God knows you deserve🕯🙏💞
