Our condolences to the family.
Cherish those memories of a man who always had a smile on his face and was a giver.
I will miss Roger coming to Keats Place and having a Cuppa with a biscuit or two at his best mates house.
I enjoyed his jokes and comments. I'm the mayor of Keats Place and Roger always worn his gumboots when he visited Ian when he was working the land.
I will miss his visits.
