Wow. This is incredibly sad to hear. I had no idea that Roger was battling cancer.
Outside of buying/selling tickets, I haven't always had the opportunity to meet/hang with a ton of folks from Ants at shows because I'm usually with my own group, but Roger was one of the few that I not only met, but took in an entire show with and we had a great time.
Alpine 2012 my friend had to bail, I ended up selling my extra ticket for each night as a single. Roger bought my N1 extra, so we met up in the lots and ended up seat buddies for the night. Super nice guy, we were relatively close in age and both from Chicago so had a decent amount in common. We had a blast at what was an epic show. At one point I broke out a J I had brought with and of course offered some to Rog. He accepted, and I don't think he was entirely ready for it because within a few minutes after taking a few puffs he had to sit back down in his seat and try to collect himself, I think his head was swimming!
He was in a bit of a daze from that point on and at one point later (can't remember exactly when but it was still well before the encore if I recall) he grabbed my shoulder and just said "Man....I gotta go...thanks for the great seat." He swiftly exited the row and that was the last I saw of him.
In the grand scheme of things a very brief interaction, but certainly one I'll always remember! RIP Roger.
