I worked with Roger a lot of the time when I was a Constable and he, a Senior Constable, from Fairfield and Cabramatta ( 34 Division ) and he was a great bloke to work with and we would often end up at his place or out watching his two sons playing their sport on a weekend.
I often thought of Roger.
May you forever Rest In Peace mate.
