Roger's Funeral service here for those that would like to watch it. Well worth the watch. Cav pays a great tribute on behalf of all of us.

A sad but proud day to be a member of AFF.

I feel honored to have had my message read at Roger's funeral. And Cav is right, we are like a secret family.

Well spoken Cav A truer friend he could not have asked for.

RIP Gaso I'll never forget the chat we had about your crack at the around Australia endurance trial and your soft spot for the small Fords of the time.

Thanks for posting this mate, I’ve just finished watching it. I feel very sad but also guilty for not being on the forum and knowing about this at the time. Had I have known, I would have been there in the second row with the fellas from AFF. I don’t drink but I’ll be cracking a can of V later on tonight when I’m in my truck for Roger.

Cheers,
Danny

My story is similar to Full Noise, taking some time away for personal reasons.

Just watched the video and afterwards, felt like I'd been peeling onions. Listening to all of the tributes taught me so much about Roger and his endearing personality. He was such a great man, father, grandfather and great grandfather. CAVs speech was spot on as a representative of LNSO.

To all of us here, he was a good mate, and I will miss him dearly.

If there was cake at the reception, I hope others apart from CAV got to have some.

RIP Roger.
