Chris & Linda, I am so very sorry for your loss. Roger will live in your hearts forever.
Love you,

You were my favorite uncle and I remember good times we had when our families got together. Though times changed after my parents passed I got to see you much later after and I was very happy to be able to reconnect. I will miss your smile and how nice you were to all of us Squire kids. Rest well, Love you.
Mr. Braun will be very missed. He was a great guy! I met him and knew him as Chris’s dad way back in 7th grade. (50 years for those you you who are counting) I remember many talks at the kitchen table when he was trying to drum sense into our semi teenage boy crazed brains. He had a great sense of humor and called it as he saw it, even when unsolicited. 😂
He and Linda’s marriage was something to aspire to as they were alway very lovey dovey and truly were each other’s best friends. ❤️
There is no question he was loved deeply.
Rest in Peace Me. Braun, you fought a valiant battle.
Chris and Linda. I am sorry for your great loss. Thank God for ALL the beautiful memories you and others will share. He was blessed to have you both by his side taking such gentle care of him. Love and hugs.
I’m so sorry for your loss he was an amazing man and always treated me with respect
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family
