John Conway wrote a sympathy message

“Although in kindred businesses for many years I did not know Roger well but do remember his always kind and courteous demeaner whenever we met at the various trade shows over the years. Truly a gentleman and someone who made an immeasurable contribution to the preservation of military history and the hobby of collecting the artifacts associated with many countries and veterans of the conflicts. He never gave me the impression his work was about profit. One of a rare breed, may he rest in peace.”

“My deepest condolences to Mr. Bender's family and friends. It was never my fortune to have met Mr. Bender, however, did have the pleasure to speak with him on a number of occasions while ordering one of his books. We also communicated via email from time to time. I have been a devoted customer for nearly 40 years. Mr. Bender's contribution to history and the study of militaria will be greatly missed.”

“A sad day in the collecting world. I first met roger in 1962 when i came home from the navy, and he would go to the military shows with a small cigar box of items for sell or trade. We became fast friends. Roger, you will be missed by all, especially me. So long, “kiddo”. My sincere condolences to the family. Stephen d. Rohde”
