Dick was preceded in death by his parents, James and Amy Rogers. He leaves his beloved wife, best friend, and caregiver, Ruth. He leaves his children, Cyndie and Randy (Lisa) of Akron and Mark; and his precious grandchildren Landry and Taylor of CT. He leaves Ruth's children, Tim McCloud (Yvonne), Tammy Smith (Jason), and their babies Tyler, Austin, and Alex; many brothers and sisters-in law, special friends, co-workers, and caring neighbors. Many, many thanks to Dr. Linda Keith, SUMMA Hospital, SUMMA of Green and the Hospice Care Center. Donations may be made to the Hospice Care Center, 3358 Ridgewood Rd., Akron, OH 44333.

This isn't death - it's glory!
It is not dark - it's light!
It isn't stumbling, groping,
Or even faith - it's sight!
This isn't grief - it's having
My last tear wiped away;
It's sunrise - it's the morning
Of my eternal day!
This isn't even praying -
It's speaking face to face;
Listening and glimpsing
The wonders of His grace.
This is the end of pleading
For strength to bear my pain;
Not even in pain's dark memory
Will ever live again.
How did I bear the earth-life
Before I knew this rapture
Of meeting face to face
The One who sought me, saved me,
And kept me by His grace!
