One of my best friends passed Sunday, and we are going to miss him dearly.
We had been friends for almost 25 year, and this loss is tough. Roger loved jets, and his last event was Jets Over Kentucky 2024.
He was on the staff, and was with us until the end this year.
He knew everyone in Campbellsville, and was instrumental in introducing me to city government officials there.
When we had to relocate Jets Over Kentucky in 2021, I knew the people to approach. Jets Over Kentucky is larger and better,
and we owe a debt of gratitude to Roger. He was a good man, a very dear friend, and I'm going to really miss him.
Prayers for the Stiles family.
