‘Difficulties are just things to overcome’ was one of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s famous quotes. Having met and becoming a close friend of Roger, I believe that this quote sums up my feelings of him and will be a lasting reminder. Rest in peace my friend.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
