We are deeply saddened by the immense loss of our beloved Roger. He was the best human, the most loving husband and father, a talented radio host and producer, an amazing friend, and a faithful servant. We know he is rejoicing!

He loved his radio audience family. Thank you all for supporting WBOB and starting your mornings with Ed & Rog.

Please keep Roger’s family and radio family in your prayers.

We’ve also started a Go Fund Me for Roger’s family. We appreciate your donations, kind words and shared memories. Here are a few pictures with some of WBOB’s friends and partners that captures his immense joy!
