Ted Muxworthy (73-78B) remembers Roger as "an all round nice guy who is sadly missed"  He says "Roger mentored me in my early years, taking a keen interest in me going to read Land Management at Reading University which he had done and in my early years as a trainee in London when I was very much 'rus in urbe'!"

Most recently he lived near Salisbury in Wiltshire with wife Nicky.  Our sincerest condolonces go to her and their children  Camilla, Charlotte and William.
