Roger Case, R.I.P.

from the Contra Costa Times:
Roger D. Case
Oct. 12, 1943 ~ April 12, 2010

Sadly we announce the passing of Roger Case on April 12, 2010 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. He now rests with the Lord, from whom he sought guidance, strength and wisdom.

Roger leaves behind his beloved Patty Taylor, parents Bob and June Case, brother and sister-in-law Ron and Nita Case, nieces, nephews and grandchildren who affectionately called him "Grumpy."

Born in Oakland, CA. Roger attended Claremont Jr. High and Oakland Technical High and later received a Bachelor's Degree in Business. After duty in the National Guard Roger's work lead to a career in computer technology, one of Roger's many passions. Roger worked for Contra Costa County Health Services through 2009 as an IT engineer. He was a devoted and grateful member of Alcoholics Anonymous; he gave tirelessly to newcomers seeking sobriety and others simply seeking his wisdom. When he spoke people listened knowing his sharing would be either profound and life changing or funny to the point of tears. He was an avid runner with the Diablo Road Runners. He loved music, cars, Harleys, literature, photography and poetry. Roger had a passion for life and the people in it, but his greatest love was for God.

Celebrate Roger's life May 1, 2010 at 1:00pm at Calvary Temple, 4725 Evora Road, Concord, CA 94520.
