Roger Kiger, was my next door neighbor for many years. As our children grew up together in Rockville. My heart goes out to Andrew & James (Sons). Very nice man.. Always said hello or just stopped to talk even after we moved. Anytime we meet , he always had something kind to say when we ran into each other.. May God welcome him into his home.

these were my cousins and had left louisanna heading home after laying their sister Sue to rest.
