A sad loss
I'm sorry to report that Roger Sheridan- our own rogeruktm (uktrainman elsewhere) has left us on his last and longest journey.
I can only hope he's still following his own route, speaking to the strangers he meets, and bringing them the pleasure he brought to ma and many others. |
Sheila, I was so sorry to hear this. Even though he was special to many of us I know he held a very special place in your heart, in particular. When he was traveling I always thought of him channeling Bill Bryson. I'll miss him. So sad...
|
don't know Roger but anyone who died that is mourned by someone is needing our attention.
|
I remember roger. So sorry to hear this.
|
Peace and comfort to his family. ((f))
|
I am always deeply saddened when we are notified of a poster's passing. Never met the majority of them, but they have been a part of my waking hours of entertainment and will be missed. Condolences to his family.
|
Thanks for letting us know, Sheila.
|
Oh dear, that is sad news indeed.
|
I like to think of him watching the whales from his lovely retirement home in California, as he planned his next train trip into Scotland. What a sweet man he was.
|
Very sad, he seemed like a very interesting guy. I remember his many posts on riding trains and public transport in the UK -- I've saved quite a few of them for future reference.
|
That is very sad, thanks for the notice sheila.
|
Sad news indeed. Rodger was one of my favorite posters. I always enjoyed hearing about his train trips. Rodger had a penchant for traveling to places other than the "must sees and must do", preferring the less traveled road and a more intimate experience with the local culture. Rodger was, IMO, a traveler rather than a tourist. I will miss him as I'm sure many others will also.

Thank you for the note, Sheila. I dreaded the news as soon as I saw the topic name, but I am grateful for news of a Fodorite whose reports allowed me to enjoy my own adventures using UK trains. Please add my condolences to his family. |
Very sad news. He will be missed here.
My condolences to his family, and to all his friends. |
Sad news indeed. I will miss his travelogues off the beaten path.
|
Good-night sweet Prince; And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
P-P-P, you know me. |
sheila, thanks for letting us know. I've always enjoyed roger's trip report around the UK via trains.
|
Oh no, that is such sad news. His attention to detail was amazing and his reports a joy to read. He had the extraordinary skill of making you feel you were part of his adventure. I so well remember one report of his train travels around the Scottish borders and north of England. It was a masterpiece. Thank you Sheila for letting us know.
|
Sheila, I hope you're copying this thread for Julie. I think she'd love to know Roger is remembered so fondly.
|
Thank you for letting us know. I remember how much I enjoyed reading of his journeys to Hadrian's Wall and other places. My condolences.
