  1. Beautiful service Rose. Our thoughts and love are with you and Evie. Farewell Roger. Gone but not forgotten.

  2. Brave and elegant and loved. A huge support to the brain tumour community he supported on line and a few special on the phone. He was able to share his thoughts wasn’t alone night or day in his community and was loved for his candour. And for sharing his talent.

  3. It was a privilege to be part of Roger’s leaving and service, Thanks to the three of you.

    Roger whenever I play the music we both loved … there you are!

  4. To Rose and the Family,

    My condolences to you..

    I 1st knew Roger at Microcomp in 1990 and thought he was a character then, with his gettoblaster…1st person with a large portable CD player. As a NAB colleague we re-connected at Knox with his fantastic / gifted drawings… I was amazed and taken away.. our Birthdays nearly fell on the same day….

    Roger was truly a gentleman and scholar…
    I will deeply miss Roger and his Colourful character.

    Rest In Peace my friend.
    Paul.

  5. I met Roger on the “Brain Tumor Support Group Australia”.
    Whilst I did not know him well, I could see from his posts and the few interactions we had that he was a person who was quirky, full of life and an amazingly talented artist.
    He had a zest for life that I and I’m sure many others admired.
    Roger I know you will be dearly missed by all who knew and love you.
    Rest Easy Roger
    Sending lots of hugs, prayers, love and strength to Rogers beautiful family and friends.

  7. Thank you so much for allowing me to be part of such a special tribute to Roger. It was very moving and he shall be forever missed. I shall always say ‘RAH’!! in his memory, whether it be strong loud and proud, or softly and reverently as I recall our brief but special online friendship. Much love to you Rose and to Rogers family and friends. xxxx

  8. Absolutely beautiful service. Thank you. Sat here in London with candles burning and small alter of rainbow painted golden corn and a wicker angel. Roger you’re magnificent and Rose clearly you are too. Sending all my love and we’ll touch base soon.

  9. To all who know Roger, to all who love Roger, we are blessed for having had his presence in our lives.

    In our hearts and minds, Roger will always have a place, for in our hearts and minds there will always be our Roger – a kind, caring, gentle-man, a man who who helped to enrich our lives with laughter, with deep and heartfelt communication, some of the most interesting, meandering and entertainingly delightful conversations imaginable.

    Roger, always the most stylish gentleman, so polite and with so much compassion for others.

    I knew of Roger as a friend and colleague, a friend who had a skill for sharing his style, his music, his art and his creativity and passions…. and for sharing his friendship & love.

    I saw you Roger, I witnessed your life for so many years, as a good man, the best of men…

    I saw you as a friend, as a collegue, as a father as the partner and husband, as the spirit of humanity you embodied and always will!

    Always in our hearts and minds and in our memories… forever because once he touched all of our lives… the ripples of your impact on all our lives will contiue on..

    The Sleeping Kitty you drew for me all those years ago – is admired by so many and is my touchstone to seeing your legacy and presence on our lives.

    Forever grateful that I got to know you and call you friend.

    Roger, for all you have done, for all that you have been and are now…

    Thanks Roger!

    With our love to your family and friends who meant everything to you, Kerry & Bernhard (Sydney)

    Onwards and upwards – RAH!

    God Bless Uncle Roger – Love Anna, Cerys and Cara xxx

  11. Such a privilege to be at your Life Celebration. What a fabulous celebration it was and such a privilege to hear about your life. I will never forget you Roger and our late night online conversations. Like me you saw Social Media like a normal conversation so our chats were sad happy but always honest. I hope that I will eventually meet Rose and Evie. With much love and hugs Christina xx

  17. Dear Rose and all gathered, I have lit a little shrine of candles, a wicker angel and some rainbow painted golden corn, here in London. Dressed the best I’ve been in months what with continuing lockdowns over here. To honour Roger who in particular was always my fashion pathfinder when we were tightest buddies as teens. Alas, I watched the streaming countdown then the screen just stopped. I’ve tried rebooting and will persevere however can watch later if need be. I’m there with you all in spirit just as Roger is no doubt. He’ll be sooo feeling the love.

  18. Hey Bud,

    It’s been almost three months…
    I still can’t believe you’re no longer with us.

    The countless times I’ve wanted to pick up the phone for a chat.
    The many things we never got to finish.

    Your sense of humour.
    Your sense of style.
    Your crazy ideas.
    Your optimism.

    You’d probably be embarrassed to know that the hole you’ve left in so many people’s lives is much larger than your physical presence ever was.

    I’m sure you’re keeping an eye on all of us, like the protective warrior you always were.

    Miss you.
