So many good times chasing that yellow ball around the tennis court. Roger you were never one to want to endure long rallies, out would come the infamous Knight cross court smash, it was either a very good shot or it sailed out over the fence!
Long rallies were not rated when a "Good Red" was waiting in the clubhouse.
Gone too soon mate, struggled with the physical heart but never your huge heart for all of us ... Des Glass and many others I am sure from Torbay Tennis.

Thanks for so many memories of our fun times together Roger.
You were a fantastic, caring friend, more like a brother than a cousin. Our love and condolences to all the family at this time. Sherif, Camelle, Haynie and Adrienne
