Tributes
"Cindy, Mike and family, Please accept our sympathies on Roscoeâ??s passing. For me, I will always remember Roscoe for two things. First and foremost his extremely overloaded little brown truck, one could almost hear the shocks wincing with pain as he drove around town. Secondly I will always remember him sitting in his Lazyboy recliner watching Mike and I pass through the living room. He never really said much, I always wondered if he knew that we were up to no good or just assumed it. Regardless, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Roscoe was one of the good ones. I feel fortunate to have known him, I have many fond memories of him and he will truly be missed. Sincerely, Matt and Stacy Bennett "
