Roger was well loved by all who knew him. He was an avid fisherman who loved to play pool. Everyone knew him as Doomie Marquez. Doomie was a diehard Oakland Raider fan. His favorite lines were “Doomie, Do me a favor and get me a beer,” “Are you on it?” and “Who dun it”. He loved to play bones also known as dominoes and enjoyed listening to his blues music. He bought such joy to our lives and everyone he touched. There will never be another Doomie.
