Roger was such a great guy! I missed seeing him come into Pizza Hut back in the day when I worked there in high school. He loved playing the jukebox and his favorite song was Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress! He would sing along with it! Even though my name was David he loved calling me Rufus! Don’t know what started that, just know he thought it was so funny! Will miss you buddy! God Bless
