I met Pastor Roger many years ago. I was going to call him today to see how he was doing. I had just left my doctor after receiving some discouraging news about my kidney function. I was shocked to find out that he had passed away in August. He was always a great encouragement to me through the years. He was one of the most kind, compassionate and loving people that I´ve ever known. He always encouraged my faith walk and was a true inspiration to me and modeled what it was to have a true Pastors heart! He was a rare breed, one in a million. I pray that our God will bring continual comfort to his wife and children in all the days ahead. He will never be forgotten! I will always cherish our times together. Thank you my friend for showing me that loving and compassionate Pastors still exists. I know Jesus met you and said, Well done thou good and faithful servant!! I´m thankful hmthat my friend Dennis brought me with him to your church in Morro Bay so many years ago!

In 2000, pastor Fvey along with father Ed, Kim Kimball and I organized the Blessing of the Fleet for the Morro Bay Fishermen. Every year Pastor Ed played guitar and sang and gave spiritual guidance.. Every time I saw him in the community I felt loved and blessed. I think of him often.

What a great man of God and fellow servant/leader. Had the wonderful privilege of serving together with Roger during our years of pastoring in Los Osos. He loved his God, his family, his church and the community - all which he served with passion and compassion. Will see you in the morning, my brother and friend. Sending our love and prayers to Lynn and the kids.

Having walked together in ministry many times over the past 40 years, we have been blessed by his dedication and diligence to the Lord Jesus Christ, his family and his love that extended to the community at large. He would often say, you know, I might run for office one day! He has now graduated to The highest office ! We love him and look forward to our eternal celebration, together. Love and prayers to Lynn and all the family.
