Dear Roger, you were an enormous support to me in my role as Town Clerk and in my studies, I loved working with you. I saw how hard you worked on behalf of others. You made such a difference with with your relentless work for the town behind the scenes. Thank you for everything you did for me and for Faringdon. You will be missed xx

You’ve Just Walked On Ahead of Me And I’ve got to understand You must release the ones you love And let go of their hand. I try and cope the best I can But I’m missing you so much If I could only see you And once more feel your touch. Yes, you’ve just walked on ahead of me Don’t worry I’ll be fine But now and then I swear I feel Your hand slip into mine.

My wonderful Dad. I am lost without you but am keeping your voice, spirit and advice in my heart every day so that you can guide me through this difficult time. If you could only see the outpouring of love and respect that we've had from people, you would be overwhelmed. Thank you for everything that you did and continue to do for me, for everyone. I love you very much x

An honest man here lies at rest, As e’er God with His image blest: The friend of man, the friend of truth; The friend of age, and guide of youth: Few hearts like his, with virtue warm’d, Few heads with knowledge so inform’d: If there’s another world, he lives in bliss; If there is none, he made the best of this.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Roger. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
