Roger was the statistician for the College of DuPage men's basketball team. He actually was a part of the coaching staff as he attended coaching meetings. I coached at COD for 35 years and Roger was with me most of those years. We were very good friends and golfed together often. He loved my family and was with us often. He is in our thoughts and prayers. I offer condolences to the Roy family.
