Josh Bordes wrote a sympathy message

“I met Roscoe at the Burke in 2004 when I was doing my guidance counselor internship. We instantly connected, talked hoops and laughed a lot. He was always so humble. It was always others who told me what a good player he was, never himself... he was actually quiet and never wanted the spotlight... he was one of the good ones... Josh Bordes”
