Dear Audrey,
For some reason I was guided today to try once more to find any sign of you and found this internet note of Roger’s passing. I knew that he had passed on but had totally lost tangible contact with you. But I never forgot the wonderful time we had in China, where we met, and our trip to Africa together with Patricia. Patricia and I often remind each other of the wonderful time we had together with you and Roger and we all always admired you both for your light-hearted sense of adventure and fun. I particularly remember how Roger led our China group in a spontaneous dance in Russian winter coats in that hotel on top of the mountain. (Can’t remember what it was called), but I have a vivid picture in my mind.
I know this comes awfully late but I did write a couple of times to The Villages knowing that you had left Lily Bay.
There is a notice on this website about an Audrey Rice who passed on on the 4 November 2016? For some reason I cannot open the Obituary to ascertain the identity.
My heart sinks to think it might be you and we never had a chance to talk/meet again. And although I never met your family, I know how much you loved them all. Always sowing something for one or the other.
I know Life goes on and I am happy to have such lively memories of both you and Roger which will always remain with me.
To you and all your loved ones I send heartfelt
greetings.

Dear Audrey and family:

Roger was the class of our scruffy band of fishermen from WCVB. I loved working with him and always envied his Thursday night departures from the station for long weekends at the place he loved most.

He was a gentleman of the old school and they aren't making them like him anymore.

We will gather in Grand Lake Stream the week after the service, a trip he enjoyed with us many times, and will collectively raise a glass ( or two) to our dear friend.

Moosehead won’t be the same without you Roger but as I kayak across the lake I will always think of you and know you are on another adventure. I’m glad my Dad (Gerald Milot) had you as his long time friend I know he enjoyed so many times with you. You could have rubbed off a little more on him but you probably tried. You enjoyed life to the fullest and if I only do 10% of what you have done I will be doing good. Life is what you make it and you made it great! Thank you for your time well spent and given.
Dear Audrey please let us know if we can do anything we have been thinking of you often and thank you for sharing Roger with everyone.

Audrey,

Roger was such a vivd personality it's hard to think of him as no longer with us.

I worked with him on many remotes and on the Hippo, he was always fun to be around and extremely supportive.

I'm glad he had so many years of retirement to enjoy his many interests. A man who truly lived life to the fullest.

My sympathy to you and the family,
Gretchen Soehner

Audrey: He was one of the best. A man who had it all, including the affection and admiration of his friends. We are saddened but grateful that we knew him.

Hi Audrey
We all will miss Roger so much, I remember working under Roger at WHDH TV for so
many years and all the good times we shared. Our fly fishing interests will live on for ever. I know that Roger is in Heaven looking down on you and the family.
May God Bless you and all the family.

Dear Audrey: We
were so sorry to hear of Rogers' passing. Edie and I still recall our visit to your home off the grid in Lily Bay, and how impressed I especially was with the way Roger had that set up. What a beautiful location. You both enjoyed it and your life together in the area. I am sure elsewhere as well. We hope you will continue to enjoy the Moosehead area in the future along with your work in the church.

Dear Audrey-I have a few memories to share but you already know my favorite-riding horses... I hope that make you smile and lifted your heart a little.
Roger was a special man and I will miss his smile. Prayers for you and the rest of the family. Your memories of Roger will help to heal.
