| Just in case you did not
see this - Not sure what class he was in but he went to NNHS. Thanks :-) Marty
Thank you so much, Marty; I had
missed the connection. I was unable to locate a junior or senior
portrait of Roger, but the 1963, 1964, and 1965 Anchors place him
with your classmates - and so have I.

The obituary did not mention that
Roger will be remembered as an
accomplished artist. His drawings
are indeed fine works of art. Thank
you Roger for your service to our
country, and God bless your soul and
the family left behind.
~ David Lawrence, Newport News, Virginia January 17, 2012
To the family of Roger
Underwood,
Out thoughts & prayers are with you. Mark & Miriam Olson Waggoner West Hampton Baptist Thursday Lunch Ministry ~ Mark Waggoner, Hampton, Virginia January 17, 2012
Roger was my dad's best
friend and I remember him fondly. I know he's in a better place with
his Lord and Saviour. God Bless you, Cathy.
~ Charles Smith, Wesleyville, Pennsylvania January 17, 2012
My heart goes out to
you and your family for your loss. I knew Roger thru working at
the Veteran's Affairs office, but also as a guy who was in boot
camp with my late husband before they shipped out to Vietnam.
The reason I know that is when my husband died 12 years ago
Roger came to visit me and to show me the book of them in boot
camp together... it really touched my heart. He was a great guy
and an incredible artist. ~ Aylene Lambiotte, Newport News, Virginia January 17, 2012
So sorry to hear of your loss, Catherine. May God bless
you with His peace that passes all understanding during
this difficult time. Know that Roger is now in the
presence of his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and what
a glorious reunion there will be one day soon for all
believers.
January 17, 2012 Roger, go easy
bro! Thank you for your service and the beauty of your
artwork. And thanks for being a true warrior for our
country. January 18, 2012
Roger was a easy man so sorry for the
family's loss. Soar, Eagle bro in arms 101

Cathy - we share in your time of
sorrow for Roger, my brother-in-law,
who is now at peace and joy with our
Lord who holds him dearly in His
arms. Watch out, Angels! Roger will
have everyone in Heaven laughing in
no time and running to find all his
painting supplies and the nearest
hot dog stand. We laugh and we cry
with you as we remember Roger with
fond memories. Love Mae and family~ Mae Williams, Victoria, British Columbia January 18, 2012

So sorry to read
of the passing of Roger.....Many times we spoke as
he passed by. Sad to see such a talented person
leave this earth. Hope the he will enjoy his new
place in heaven.

We were so sad to hear of
your loss. We saw him a few months ago and he had lost so much
weight. He really was a talented artist. It has been a long road for
him since his Viet Nam injury. May you have comfort in your memories
and knowing he is healed now.
January 21, 2012
I am so sorry for this
loss, and send my love to his family. Brother Roger always
encouraged my artistic urges, and somewhere I still have a Sylvester
the Cat he painted for me. Much love to Sister Cathy!

Words by
John Newton,
1779
(24 July 1725 – 21 Dec 1807)
Amazing grace! (how sweet
the sound)
That sav'd a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears reliev'd;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believ'd!
Thro' many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promis'd good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who call'd me here below,
Will be forever mine.
