Dear Connie and family --

Today, June 15, I heard of Roger's passing. I'm shocked and so sorry for you all. Thank you for our lovely home in Sturgeon Bay. I'm glad I got to see you when Roger came to pick up his bike and lawn mower this winter. I appreciated his generosity. Though selling the house on 6th was in his best interest, I believed he was joyful for our large family claiming our off island home. May God's peace passing all understanding comfort you always.

Dear Connie, Chris, Phil, It is very sad to hear of Roger's death. I had the opportunity to play with Roger for more than five years in our band called "Beyond Repair". His love of music was very inspiring to all the band members along with his leadership that kept us together and focused on playing the best that we could. He was a friend that I always looked up to. I will miss him very much. Please except my condolences on your loss. My thoughts are with all of you. Roy

I still can't believe it. Such a young guy. I will always remember how out going, friendly, funny Roger was. As soon as I heard, there was this lump in my throat and right now it is back. My heart cries for Connie and the family. I'm positive Roger was one of the best Grandfathers, father, husband anyone could ask for. You will be missed dearly Cousin!
We may not have seen a whole lot of each other in our lives, but when we did; it was always as though we seen each other all the time. That is the way he made me feel.
RIP cousin. See you someday.

Dear Connie, Phil, Chris, and Joe,
May you find some measure of peace as time goes on. Roger was a friend to all, an early 50's neighbor and fellow SBHS alumni. He always had a friendly "hello" and was a bit of a Sturgeon Bay icon, as was his father. Our sympathy to all the Rockwell families.

Dear Connie & Family,
Please know that you and your entire family are in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.
I had the pleasure of meeting you guys through the Pichette Family in the early 80's and we were able to solidify our relationship whenever the Pink Flamingo's came to visit Sturgeon Bay for softball tournaments. You were kind enough to let us camp out in your yard one year and we thanked you by putting your picnic table in the bonfire Saturday night. I still remember the look in Roger's eye when he came out Sunday morning and couldn't find his picnic table...I also remember the look in his eye when he got his new picnic table at the Flamingo banquet a few weeks later. I hope you had some nice family time around it over the years.
I'm glad God picked us from the same bag of nuts to meet up and spend some time together...Roger was a very unique individual and will be missed.
My hope is that Rogers rests peacefully...but I don't see that happening.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Jim Frawley

My condolences on the passing of Roger. When my sister gave me the news, I was totally shocked. I haven't seen him in awhile, but I'll always remember him from the family reunions. He was a great guy, and a good time was always had when he was around. It didn't matter where, he was just a good time kinda guy. I know he'll be missed by a lot of people.

Roger was a genuinely good, kind, generous man with a heart of gold and a wonderful true blue friend to many. I always enjoyed seeing and talking with him.

You are family to Eddie and I. Please know we love you and will always be a phone call away. Heaven just got a GREAT one, and we will meet again on the other side.
