    Roger I am going to miss you so much. You were without one of a kind. I miss going into your restaurant in the morning for you to cook me up quarter sized pancakes to mess with me. You made an ever lasting impact on my life like no one else ever has. Needless to say, Ill never go into the Elks the same way again. Miss you already.

    Dear Michelle and family,
    Paul renewed his acquaintance with Roger at Matulaitis, He enjoyed reminiscing stories about Rogers’ school years with Johnny and Eddy, his youngest brothers.
    Roger was so kind and helpful to my mother, Theresa Bonczek, while she was a patient there for 6 years. He watched over her like an angel that he was. She just loved him.
    We send you our prayers and love and will always remember him and his kindness.
    God bless,
    Paul and Clarice Guillot
