How very sad, I never met Roger but I know he helped so many animals in need.

RIP Roger, the world has lost a wonderful person.

I only just caught up on this news. How sad. I met Roger & spoke to him many times as he did transport to Yass. He rescued & temp cared several cats for me, even driving them around to vets out his way for cheaper desexing/vaccinations than I could get here in Canberra. I remember him telling me how many adult cats he had as he knew he would have trouble rehoming adults, but couldn't bear not to rescue them. Our family recently decided to keep one of our foster cats & it was Roger's offer to collect him & his brother & temp care them for weeks until I had the space that enabled us to rescue him. Roger was a man with a big heart. RIP.
