airann 1 #1 June 11, 2003 QuoteOur founder, builder, brother and father of what and who is Skydive Chicago has left us Memorial Service will be here at Skydive Chicago, Monday, June 16th, 2003 Memorial Jump is at 12:00 p.m. Services following at 1:00 p.m. (Outside if weather permits) Everyone is invited to attend and stay as long as you wish. Your prayers are greatly treasured. Appropriate dress would be appreciated, show your colors, wear the SDC logo or that of your home DZ. DZ casual is the dress code for the day. Roger wanted balloons Missy is asking everyone to write down a 'favorite memory' of Roger (be it funny, fond, or what-have-you) so she and Rook can keep them in a scrap book. It would be a great thing to have everyone show up with a balloon (no helium, filled with your own air!) with that piece of paper inside the balloon. We will collect all of the balloons, eventually pop them all and give the pieces of paper to Missy. Please respect Roger’s family and be patient for them to release a statement in regards to the incident. We are all deeply saddened and of course must draw strength from one another in this time of sorrow. Please feel to register and post any messages, memories, or condolences on our Bulletin Board Thanks to John "Doc" Musgrave who dug up old videos of Roger and stayed up late Sunday night creating this video.
