Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I have been a long time friend to the family of Roger/Wanda Becker. It seems I have known them all my life. I had grown up with, and went to school with Gerald and Dennis Becker. Looking back on just one occasion, Roger taught me how to water ski. My thought and prays go out to all of you at this sad time. Sorry I couldn't be there. Sincerly, Benny Mills
I'm a Friend and coworker of Gerald Becker. I would like to send my blessings to the Becker family and alot of people Gerald knows has you on their minds. I'm sorry for your loss. God Bless. Jeannette Benner
I will miss Uncle Roger, especially the discussing (arguing) of politics and fishing. My families' thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Dear Wanda I wanted you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers and how much you mena to us. I will always have great memories of the laughs I had with my "BUDDY" I know he will be looking for us to join him with the big hug and huge smile. LOVE AND PRAYERS Damon, Brenda and family

Gerry and family, My sincerest sympathy and prayers go out to you in this time of loss. May your grief be lessened by all your fond memories of your father and by your appreciation of all the good times you shared. I still miss my own father (who passed away 5 years ago), but each day I am more thankful at having had him in my life for as long as I did. God bless you all.
Sorry for your loss, You are in my thoughts and prayers. Best wishes!
I can honestly say that as I look back at my life, I can see the influence that he has had on my character building. I too, will miss our lively discussions on politics, unions, and religion. He kept you thinking, wondering, and on "your toes" in defending your position. These "bull" sessions will be missed. He was truly an uncle I will forever miss in many ways. From my family to your's, you are in our hearts and prayers.
We would like to express our condolences in your time of loss.
Dear Wanda – Just wanted to let you all know that our family is praying for you during this time of great loss. Our families have shared some good times together. My mom and dad have so enjoyed the time they have been able to spend with you all since moving to Farmington. They are sorry this has happened while they are in Florida. I regret that I will not be able to make it to the visitation or funeral,I would have liked to seen you and the kids, I wanted you to know we'll be thinking of you. May the wonderful memories you have keep Roger close and may the Lord wrap his loving arms around you during this difficult time and in the days ahead. Hope it helps to know others care and are praying for you! Love, Sue (Mills) Stephens
