So sorry to hear of Roger’s passing.  He always seemed to have a kind word and a smile when I saw him.  I also appreciate the friendship he had with my Dad.  I know my Dad was proud to call him his friend.  My condolences to Roger’s family and friends. Rob Cassio and the Cassio family.

I was very saddened and shocked to read that my high school best friend had passed away.   Roger and I were always together in our high school days at Hamilton High and during  the time we spent at Santa Monica college before each of us went on to four year colleges and law school.  I remember Roger and I in high school driving to the local taco stand to enjoy five tacos for a dollar or going to Shakey's to split an extra large pizza.  During the summers, we went on trips together. We were roommates at UC Santa Barbara summer school.  My then girlfriend and now spouse Laurie were at Roger and Ivonne's wedding in San Diego .  After law school Roger and Ivonne moved to Fresno and we remained in Los Angeles.  We kept in touch but as both Roger and I were building our legal careers and helping our spouses raise a family, our contacts became less frequent.   We did talk when we both retired from our practices and exchanged family pictures. 
I lost my sister last month when she had a sudden heart attack.  Now to learn I have also lost my best high school friend is very upsetting.   Our deepest condolences to Ivonne and the entire family.
