I was sad to hear about Roger's passing, but then I couldn't help myself but smile. That's the impact he always had on me and others. I remembered all the times we talked and laughed at The Oakland Press, and his silly voices or never-ending jokes. How many times did I go to him in graphics with a time crunch request with my tail between my legs, to which he would smile and say, "Let's see what we can do." He always came up with creative solutions. Also, he was a very spiritual person who looked beyond traditional religion for answers. He introduced me to his wonderful wife, Sue, who shared his inquisitive nature about life. My heart goes out to Sue, because she truly lost her soulmate on this plane of existence. I'm so grateful to have known Roger Hicks, and honored to call him my friend. See you on the other side, buddy.
