Roger made a lot of people laugh along the way. I won’t forget all the times he made me smile. That always made my day better. I’ll never forget the time he told me how he switched all of the York Mint Patties wrappers and individually and carefully wrapped them on an “inferior” brand of mint patties. Grandma Smith always said the York patties were the best, and she ended up eating and loving the other brand even though Roger switched the wrappers. I don’t know if he ever told her about the switch.
Once when I was helping them move, I was driving the moving truck. I ended up backing into a Jeep Grand Cherokee. That would have upset anyone. Somehow Roger always kept an even temper. I felt so bad about that, but he never mentioned it. Thank you for covering me, Roger.
Some things I’ll always remember he would say:
His job title when I asked him for the eighth time: “ElectronicDigitalDataProcessingEquipmentTechnician,” except faster.
“Let’s go, Wahle!” when he and Judy were about to leave.
Being a big baseball card collector back in the 90s when the Mariners were really hot, whenever Griffey would hit a home run, his signature response: “Another quarter on the card!”
“What’d I say?” if I asked for clarification.
His love for Judy, his children, and grandchildren was unmatched.
“That is an exact truism.”
Fondly and with love,
Greg
