My prayers and thoughts for the family. Cherish your memories
I would like to express my deepest sympathies to Rodger’s family and friends. Rodger was a terrific person and I had the pleasure to get to know him personally in addition to through his career as the project manager for site environmental cleanup operations and maintenance at the former Upjohn site in North Haven. Rodger rarely complained about anything and instead offered reason, rolled up his sleeves, and was not afraid of doing anything that needed to get done. Rodger will be sorely missed by all and he leaves behind a legacy of a beautiful daughter (Rebekah), son (Adam), their families and grandson. Rodger is so proud of his family and always updated me and others about their accomplishments. Remember his memory and embrace his spirit.
My sincere condolences to Rodger’s family.
Rodger was a colleague and a friend. I called him my brother. I always appreciated his no-nonsense assistance and matter of fact approach to life and its challenges. I believe he is, in fact, headed west in a beautiful RV, in retirement, and at peace. He was a very proud father, a good friend and will be sorely missed. I will celebrate his life and the kind and thoughtful way he lived it.
We are so sorry for the loss of the wonderful person! Our thoughts and prayers are with all of his family and friends. We had many fun times in high school and thru the years. It was such a nice guy with a very large and loving heart. RIP dear friend – adieu until we meet again.
