Oh, Roger was Colonel Flagg ... that makes sense now.

Roger was a very nice man. So sorry to hear he lost his cancer battle. Cancer sucks. It takes so many of our friends and family way before their time.

Man, he was younger than I thought when we worked at WFMK back in the late '80s.

Kayla, if I recall correctly. I'm not sure if they were still together or not.

My condolences to Roger's family.

Yup, it was Kayla.

RIP to Mr. Hoppe. Was saddened to learn of his passing and especially the fact he was battling cancer.
