4 years still miss my father n law and my BFF. My dad died when I was 18   Jim wasn’t as much of a father figure as was a friend but respected him as a father figure first before a friend.  He was so much fun to be around with golf, rodeo, and camping. Having a Jack right now in your honor

My dad died when I was 19. I had over 27 yrs with my father-in-law. Like my dad, Jim was a career military man who was stern, impatient at times, caring, and would give you the shirt off his back even before you asked for it.  Always there to volunteer which usually benefited kids in some way. That's why I admired Jim. Many times I would be with Jim and he would introduce me to someone . They would ask me how I knew Jim.  I would say "i'm married to his daughter Tammy."  They would say "your Jim's son-n-law? wow.  And then it was like I just got  street cred or I gained instant respect.  That's when I knew I was always in good company.
   But,  he was not just my father-in-law he was also one of my best friends.  We did so much together from building something to playing golf. I volunteered with him and he volunteered with me.  It got to the point where Tammy would get on me because I was spending more time with Jim than I was with her.  In actuality our families were almost always together.  Boating, fishing, camping, stock shows, vacations, and just hanging out.  We have so many family memories to cherish.  It's going to be hard without him because we will continue to do the things we always did with him. But with our memories, it will be like he's right there by our side.  Love you BFF(my Pa-n-law).

My sister told me about the time that Jim and Cindy coordinated a birthday party for her when she turned 13 right after my mom died.  They invited all the girls from her school and it really impacted her greatly.  You and your family helped me and mine throughout the years and I’m forever grateful.  Jim is one of the most impactful people in my life.  I love him and all of “that there”

Worked with Jim on the Refreshers committee at the VTO for the last 4 years.  Jim was a great leader and kept to business at hand and ran a tight ship.  It was great to visit with him and the other volunteers once all the work was done.  Good times!!  Jim will be missed.  Thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.

Always loved his bear hugs, smile, and sense of humor.  He’ll forever be in our hearts. 💞

Rest easy fellow Squire.  We will continue to toast your exceptional life until we meet again.  Fair Winds and Following Seas.  Your entry fees have been paid!!

I worked with Jim  and the refreshers at the Valero  Golf Tournament. Jim  was a great guy and very good to for for. Jim will be missed but his spirit will be forever cherished. God Bless you and your family. Grady

Jim was more than a brother-in-law to me, but more like a brother to me.  He was always helpful when I called to talk to my sister and then we chatted for awhile.  From stories he shared he always impressed me on how well he took care of his family, friends, fellow service members and his country.  The photo is one of my favorites of Jim and my sister as he was proud of his service to his country and proud to be my sisters husband.  I will miss you Jim and your calls to get Jack for you from Tennessee.

My best buddy Texas Army National Guard. Will miss you, but will never forget you.

P.s. Hope to see you there😇

After living in Illinois for my job. Jim and Sis came to visit many times. The best visit we went to Anhizerbush museum and a yard sale.  Jim didnt want to do the yard sale but he broke down and took us.  We laughed all day and had a wonderful time. Miss him already.

In my 25 years with the Texas Open, I have worked with many volunteers and Committee Chairs. In all that time, Jim was in the top of all that I got too work with and get to know personally. I only wish I had spent more time with him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. God Bless!

My thought and prayers are with Jim's family. Like so many others all the memories. He was comical, honest, loyal  and caring to his family and our great country and a dear friend. We shared many good times and some very rough ones during some of the floods and hurricanes we worked. Jim's will be missed by all that knew him. A great man, father,soldier and friend. Rest in peace buddy.

I remember so many years when Valero Texas Open (VTO) registration would kick off.   He would attend the kick off and then from that day on I could expect a call from him either to give me another name to add to the database or to tell me that the system was too difficult to manuever (he did not even do it, he delegated that duty to a very capable woman on his committee, along with his vice-chair).  However, I would listen and give him a hard time just like he was doing to me.  He was at the course leading up to VTO, just making sure their trailer was in the right spot and they had what they needed in terms of supplies.  For the week, he was on top of the members and made sure that everything ran smoothly.  Needless to say my world will not be the same without him and his phone calls and visits this year and going forward.  He was a joy to work with and kept us all in line.  RIP, Jim.   You were loved more than you probably even realize! 

Jim and I Go back to the last century, around the early 1980s. I remember him as an exceptionally witty person, generous to a fault and always prepared to liven up otherwise dull business sessions.  It continued when we again connected at Camp Mabry for our final assignments.
One of the last times I saw him, Jim gave me a pocket knife with his familiar “courtesy of Jim Roguski” inscription.  Somehow, that was highly telling...and prophetic...of this man’s lasting impressions.
“You fought the good fight, Jim.  Now the time’s arrived for your final journey to Valhalla...do it with the same enthusiasm you did everything else. Rest In Peace, ya ole Redleg.”

We loved Jim so much. He always arrived with a joke, a smile, a story and a hug.  He was perpetually cheerful and positive, even in the face of bad news. Jim was so supportive and caring towards us. And even though we didn’t have him in our lives that long, we feel his loss as if he were family-because that’s how he made everybody feel. We’ll miss him terribly and are so sorry for your loss. He was the best. 

Jim and I have known each other for quite a few years. We even worked at the Wurstfest for a couple of years, we were good friends in the military. I am going to miss him very much, RIP old friend.

Kim, 

Our prayers are with you and your family.  Jim was always cheerful and great to be around during rodeo.  He will be missed.

Dinah & Dwayne

There is a lifetime of memories I have with Jim as my cousin, my friend, my advisor, and my confidante. I will miss him immensely. The love, laughter and friendship. 

There are many memories.  I knew Jim in the military and considered him a great friend.  My heart hurts at the news of his passing.
