We are sorry to hear of Roger’s passing. He will be remembered for the genealogy of the Linker family. His laugh was contagious. He had a giving heart.
We will miss him at the Linkers’ Christmas.
May the peace of Jesus comfort you.
So sad to open the paper and read that Roger had passed. I had just thought of him on his birthday as I remembered
the date was near the death of Grandpa Busse. Roger and mom always had a good laugh when they were together.
He worked so hard on all the families ancestries and did a great job. He will be missed.
Jim & Connie and family – our sympathy to you. May God be with you and comfort you.

Roger was a joy to be around at family gatherings. His uncle Art was my stepfather and I remember all the laughter that was shared as Roger shared stories and life events. He will be missed
Roger was my first friend outside of my immediate family at age two or three when we both grew up together on Bowser Avenue in Southeast Fort Wayne We remained friends until his recent passing. My sincere sympathy to his family. May he rest in peace.
Roger was a great guy and had a contagious laugh. I will miss him and I’m sure he be missed by many. Keeping his family in my thoughts.
We were among the qFort Wayne National employees who shuddered when Roger walked into the branch office for an audit. Then years later he walks into McDonalds and we became morning coffee buddies, also enjoyed Sunday afternoon cards. We will miss him.

Roger was a funny fun loving man and was our great friend and a big part of our McDonald’s group that met for breakfast on E. State St. for a number of years years. He always brought laughter even though sometimes we knew that he was not feeling well. I missed him for the last months due to the Covid contagion and will miss him greatly. So long good friend!
