Ponsford, MN Monday, September 13, 2010 I will never forget how Roger sat on our deck at the lake in Northren MN and watched the humming birds. He sat there for hours watching them. He so wanted to get them to come to his house in NE but they just never go to NE to get to there summer homes. I got a new humming bird from a fried and will look at it and remember that it is Roger still watching the birds. I love you brother and rest in peace. No longer and pain. That is the good thing.
