Roger Mead, just saying the name brings me great feelings. This man was always happy to see you. Always met and greeted you with a smile and a proper manner. I never once heard him address my Father as anything other than Uncle Jay. I am sure he had his moments of anger, Probably gave his children a good old fashioned spanking on occasion. But I would bet he never held that anger long. And I would be willing to bet that he always spoke kindly and encouragingly to his children and grandchildren. That's just the kind of guy he was. I know my world is better for having him as a member of our family. the world is a better p[lace for having him here. and I Know Heaven just got a ray of sunshine and brightness. I love you Roger and want to thank you for enriching so many lives. I know you will continue to watch over your earthly family and guide them. I'd say rest in Peace......But I know your probably to busy to do much resting.
