Roger Walkwitz

I knew Uncle Roger and Aunt Naomi (all missionary kids call their favorite people “uncle” and “aunt” from our time in the Philippines. They were full of fun, laughter, and a love for Jesus. Uncle Roger was also my high school science teacher … I was convinced that he passed me because he felt sorry for me! They both epitomized the love of Christ through their treatment of others.

Dad, I didn't like you very much when I was young. You were stubborn, hard-headed and unwavering with a one track mind. As I matured I began to understand you and eventually learned to love you. Stubborn, hard-headed and unwavering were actually commitment to your purpose on Earth.I will be eternally thankful that God allowed me to be with you those final 5 days and to be there when He called you home so you could celebrate your 68th Anniversary with Mom.Thank you for loving me, even though you had a strange way of showing it. You were the rock of our family and I will always appreciate that. Love you Dad.Randy (#2)

Uncle Rogers kindness, blunt wisdom and unwavering support have profoundly shaped who I am today.I find such serene comfort in knowing that he resting in the loving embrace of the Heavenly Father. Prayers and hugs to you Randy,Ron and the rest of the gang💟

My brother Roger was 4 years older than I, so I looked to him for help many times. We always got along .He taught me how to ride a bicycle, which I have enjoyed most of my life along with my wife Faith, tooring all over the U.S. He also taught me patiently how to drive a car and loaned me his on occasion. He taught me to trust the Lord in making decisions. His ministry actually began when he was in high school. He, along with his buddies purchased a wire recorder, which became obsolete , but he would record the Sunday Sermon each morning, and play it for the shut-ins in the afternoon. He had a 'helping attitude'--a wonderful brother. Brother Don

Hi Randy.So sorry for your loss! He certainly had lots of great years to share with others. You and your family are in my thoughts.
