We all knew about Rogers innovative work on raingardens.  He was a legend.  I never imagined I would meet him.   One day I received a phone call from him.  I could hardly wait to tell to my office of this amazing event.  To my delight we met many times and worked together on the chloride issue.   I respect Roger.  He is a legend and a role model in the environmental world.  Thank you Roger

I have many fond memories of Roger. Working across the cubicle divide hearing the way he loved to talk to people about stormwater challenges and theories. So many of us have learned from Roger and his work. His ability to generate excitement about a topic that most would consider unnoteworthy is truly a gift. He really is a legend, will be missed but never forgotten. Rest.

Roger helped our cohousing community decide that seal coating the asphalt parking lot might result in harmful runoff, and was quick to answer questions about rain gardens. He and Jane also generously gave away lots of paddling gear to other paddlers several years ago. I started donating to Friends of Lake Wingra to repay their generosity.

Roger was one of a short list of individuals in the country if not the world who those of us in the profession knew to go to when we needed expert assessment and advice on stormwater management. Advice not just expert because of his encyclopedic knowledge but more importantly sound because of Roger's years of practical, field experience. Every project was better for Roger's participation.

I owe Roger lots.During my master's degree I kept coming across papers written by R. Bannerman et al. One day I decided to email him with a list of questions. My phone rang soon after, and we chatted for hours. This was the start of many long conversations about solving the world's stormwater problems. I chose my dissertation topic based on his advice. I'm one of many with similar stories.
