I knew Roger through my wife, Angelica. She worked with the big guy for almost 14 years in the bindery dept. at Anderson
We'll never forget the time when he came and rescued that old cat Whiskey from an alley near our house.
We'll never forget his joy when crossing the finish line
at last year's Firecracker 5K in Chinatown. We will never forget that big smile. He will always be remembered.

I will miss my friend and co-worker Greg, dearly.Greg gave me many rides when I needed them for work, since we both lived in Simi Valley. He was always there to help me technically at work, even though as stated by others, he didn't have too. I enjoyed his love of baseball. He had a dry sense of humor which I loved & a wonderful heartfelt laugh I will miss so much. I was blessed to have know himas a friend. I valued his intelligence and advise at work. I know the LA Angels was his son & his team. His son Andrew was his pide & joy. Andrew, your Dad was a wonderful friend to me. Knowing him was like hitting a home run! My deepest sympathy to all Greg's family.

Mr. Pompel, what a nice guy! Our conversations were endless.... we had a lot of laughter and we never got to Laughlin. But you are in my thoughts. May you rest in peace.

Buck lived in one of my rentals for some time. He never asked for anything and was helpful to my mom and the neighbors. May God bless and be with his wife and family at this tragic time.
