July 26, 2022 at 4:13 amI’m sorry to hear about the passing of your father. I have known him since the first or second grade in Santaquin and graduated from Payson High with him and your mother. I would say that he was very popular with the girls. Your Mother was a cheer leader at Payson and also very popular. Sorry, I was not aware of her passing. I want to express my condolences for both of their passing. I’m happy to have known both of them. May your grieving be short, yet find comfort and relief in knowing that this is part of God’s eternal plan for us.

July 29, 2022 at 5:48 pmAs I look back on the life of your Father I see a great Friend for over 60 years I remember who Roger was because of his Brother Richard who was my friend and school mate but I really got to know Roger when we became neighbors in 1969.We seemed to like the same things to do like fishing and hunting I remember going fishing many times with Richard and Roger in Richards boat, Roger could cast his pole farther than anyone I ever fished with and I know he scared a lot of float tuber’s with his lures and baits. We went Deer hunting with bow’s and rifles and I know he went with his boys when they got old enough. I remember the Buck Rodney got hunting near Mona Reservoir he was a happy boy. Roger was very proud of his family and liked nothing more than to do things with them. As you can see I’m thankful for the chance I had to call the Ross Family Friends I have many more stories I will always remember.Thanks Roger for all the times you helped lay cement and other things you helped me with, I appreciate all you and your family did with and for me Thanks for the Memories
