"A great coach, teacher and mentor to many kids at Epiphany. Rest In Peace Coach "
"I was a student at Epiphany. Mr. Shasky was my typing teacher among other subjects. I always felt valued as a person by him. He also had myself & Bonnie Adkins try out for the boy's basketball team! He thought we were that good!! That was back in 1975!!! He was ahead of the times!! He also would joke with me about being Polish ( dumb Pollack jokes back then). I want to let you know what a positive impact he made on my life! I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with your family... Sincerelyy, Catherine Peterson/ Kopiecki"
"Mr. Shasky (Rodger) was the best teacher and coach I ever had. I remember when we graduated from 9th grade we picked up Mr Spenser?s SAAB and put it in the back of Mr. Shasky?s pick up. When I was in 8th grade he brought me and 4 others of us to Florida for spring break. What a great man."
"He was a great guy....taught PE in the gym right next to the band room. We enjoyed visits frequently....In the good old years, he organized a lot of fun events at Epiphany....one included golfing...my very first time ever golfing and he was so kind in teaching me some tips..... Sorry and sad to hear of his death. RIP dear Roger!! "
