I will always remember how you made class fun and how you always had something worth talking about, but more importantly how you always had something worth listening to. I hope they have Salsalito cookies in heaven as you deserve one. I will miss you greatly.
Dr. Easson was a great teacher. He taught some of my favorite classes at CBU, and my English for Corporate Communications degree is applicable to my career on a daily basis. He will definitely be missed.
I came to know Roger through our 4-H club in Carthage, Missouri, sometime in the 1950s. One of my favorite memories of Roger is our club square dances. Most of us boys were still scared of girls (mutual, I suppose) and it showed in how we conducted ourselves in the dances. Not Roger! I remember him enthusiastically bounding and joyfully galumphing about the floor, do-si-doing, alamanding and swinging his partner with complete abandon. His partner (who shall remain nameless) was the prissiest human I’ve ever met, and her horrified eye-rolling at being partnered with Roger is a living testament to me of God’s abundant sense of humor.I imagine that youthful exuberant spirit, that irrepressible joy, was Roger throughout his life, and I am grateful that Roger and I were able to reconnect through FB, even for the very short time that life gave us. Even as his body was failing, the Spirit was strong in him and it was blessing.Rest In Peace, Roger.
the world is now a darker place. this man was greatness. this man showed me the way.
