Roger,
It was an honor to have served our country in the US NAVY. You in the Seabees and me on a tin can, a destroyer, the US Leary DDR-879.
And it was great to have you as a good friend, and co-worker here at Raintree. Love you and going to miss you a lot.
Your buddy Norman Heinichen USN BT3
Heaven’s gate gladly opened for you. The angels sang your welcome and God and Jesus rejoiced of your homecoming.
God bless Linda and give her comfort with the memories she shared with Roger.
