Very sorry to hear this. I knew Roger for more than 15 years. He was one of the few guys that you knew would be at every show and he'd usually have great stuff in tow. He helped me out as a collector many times, plus he made me laugh. I'll miss him.

Nice guy, soft-spoken, took the time to chat with collectors. I didn't know him well, but it was always a pleasure to hang out with him talking cards and make an occasional deal. He will be missed. RIP.

Boston's Shriner's Auditorium Show
Like Bill, I knew Roger from the Shriner Auditorium Shows.
It's always sad to see the passing of dealers or collectors. Rest in peace Mr Burns. Patrick

Roger
Was a great guy and I considered him a hobby friend. He will certainly be missed. Always enjoyed talking cards and baseball and pretty much any topic with him. Sleep in the stars old friend.

It's hard not to have picked up something from Roger if you've been collecting pre-war cards for any length of time. I think I met him at my first White Plains show and bought a 1934 Goudey Dizzy Dean from him. Nice man. He will be missed.

Sad
I was in Chicago at the National last year and was laser focused on finding a nice T227 Ty Cobb. I was striking out, having only seen one that was not very nice and significantly over priced. I had just seen a friend who was in a similar situation, not being able to find what he was looking for. Literally the next table was Roger. He had a really nice looking Cobb at a very fair price. I bought it and it is one of my favorite cards. The card is great, but the conversation with Roger was better by far. I am blessed to have known him. He shared that he was sick and what was going on. I came back and talked to him the other days of the show as well. We had some great talks. He was one of the good ones for sure. My sympathies to his wife.
Eric
