Roger, we will miss your stories of the Air Force and growing up in West Virginia, watching westerns with you and that twinkle in your eyes when you smiled. Love to your family at this time of loss. You were loved and will be missed by the Zeilinger’s. Dave, Karen and Isaac
My condolences go to Lorie and Tim. I was not aware that Roger had passed until Jan. 2023. Roger and I
shared many friends from GSA, trips together, a beloved German Sheppard named Stormie, holidays,
dance parties, and friends in the Grandview area.
