Tony Rogers wrote a sympathy message

“So many great memories from our time as next door neighbors to Martin and Rosa. Incredibly generous man who knew his mind and wasn’t afraid to speak it. So many incredible meals—especially his succotash—and gatherings with neighborhood friends. Fishing, shooting, charity events and just hanging out with a drink. You and Rosa were a great pair. We will miss you and the good times we shared. Antonia & Tony Rogers”
