We are sorry for your loss. Roger was always a bright spot in our lives. Good memories. We will miss his smile. Dan & Amy Gallo
Roger studied piano/organ with me for several years and was such a special man! I had tried to reach him by phone several times lately with no luck. Always made desserts for church Lenten lunches! My sincere sympathy to his family1
Roger will be missed. In the short time I knew Roger I was amazed by the grace with which he faced death. He was a joy to be around, and so welcoming. Fair winds and following seas, Roger.
The Luhta family send you all much love. Roger was a very special man and a very loyal friend. Roger and my father-in-law grew up together in Fairport and I would enjoy hearing stories of their young shenanigans and continued bond throughout the decades. Roger stayed close to my family with his bible verse texts even after the passing of my father-in-law. The last he sent … Daily Bible Verse App Proverbs 31:28 28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: I am sure Dave was there to greet him as he found peace. Thank you Roger for demonstrating what it truly means to be a friend. You are missed. Jenny Luhta
Today is 26May2020, and I just moments ago found online that you have passed. Thank you for being my online friend via the ECG and after. You and I enjoyed a lot of laughs and we had fun with spelling our names backward, regoR. I am grateful to have spoken with you on April 5 and that you liked my prayer for healing, that I left on your other phone. Thank you, regoR, for letting me know how much you cared. Rest in peace and Shalom, dear friend – until we meet on the other side. Gentle as you go, ynraM aka Marny
