stacysquire Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 It is with great sadness that I bring the news of Rochester Crusaders Percussion Arranger Rick Rogers passing this late evening/early morning. Rick was a great man with a big heart. All those that knew him respected and admired him. He was a great teacher, friend and personally a newly found charished family member. We always lose the best too early and he was one of the best. Rest in peace Rick, we will all truly miss you and you will be in our hearts and music forever. More details will be provided at a later date once arrangements are made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
