While working at the Electro Science Lab for many years, Roger Rudduck had his office just a couple doors down from mine. And he always had a smile on his face, and would stop to chat if he had time. And the discussions could cover almost any topic, and they did. I transferred out to another dept, and he told me he was sorry to see me go. But that is business, and that does happen in today world, as it did many years ago.
Sorry to hear that Roger Rudduck, has left us way too soon. Now he does not have any more worries about his life, he is in God's hands now. RIP.
