His optimism, dedication, and sense of humor was contagious. Roger had many many friends throughout the farming community.

Dear Campbell family, you have my deepest sympathy during these difficult times. The death of a loved one can bring great pain and sorrow but you can have comfort. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 says “The God of all comfort, comforts us in all our trials” so our loving Heavenly Father is here to comfort you in this trial. I hope this brings you a measure of encouragement.
