Rest in Peace Roger Sims

God bless Roger and my prayers go out for you and your family. Hang in there Amy this is a terrible thing to go through but be assured that though the loss may always be with you, the pain will soon be filled with all the happy memories you have made together.

Good Luck,

Mario  

Rest in peace Roger.  My sincere condolences and heartfelt prayers to his family and friends. 

My mom and her sister, the 2 youngest of 8 children, died of this horrid disease some 30 plus years ago.  It is a tragedy to watch and there is a certain relief that this awful disease is at an end in someone you love dearly.

Roger was a friend that I came to know through this forum. He was our original scribe at the DCS user group meetings, and was always cheerful and upbeat, regardless of the state of his health.

Rest in peace, Roger.

Just received the news from Amy, also.

Met Roger at the Wednesday night DCS users meeting. He was quick to tell you of the advantages of solid rail Atlas track, and loved his Santa Fe F3 set.

He was building his dream layout on the upper level of his home in NC when this dreaded disease struck. Eventually he was unable to go upstairs to work on the layout. 

Amy being a train wife, God Bless Her, made room on the first floor so Roger could have a layout that he could get to.

I will miss him

we have lost another RR. Payers for the family

Very sad to hear this news  Roger was a real nice guy  My condolences to the family

My prayers for his family, I am sure he is with god.

My condolences to his family I too met Roger at York and he was very genuine.

My condolences.

Alex

Since the services are being held fairly close to me I plan on attending. Anyone else locally going?

Did he use his actual name here on the forum?  It does not sound familiar. 

Roger used "Roger n NC" on the forum

Paul, I'm trying to get time off to go down.

My prayers go out to his family and close friends.

There's an interesting by-product/side-effect of forum membership in that we have established social relationships with many people whom we've never met face-to-face, and every time a forum member is lost or loses a family member, we all feel the loss.
