RIP-my friend Roger Burns

[painthistorian]

To all those that knew Roger, I regret to inform that this longtime vintage baseball dealer, hobbyist and friend has passed away after a long illness. Roger was always a quality vintage card dealer but he was also a very special person. He truly was someone that you could always enjoy visiting with at shows. He was funny, smart and witty and someone that dealt with integrity and honor. He will definitely be missed by all those that had the pleasure to know him, and I know he is no longer suffering.

I wish his wife Hazel peace and our deepest sympathy, as she loved, endured and supported Roger through months of suffering. She is a lovely and special person and I hope that she knows the hobby will miss him.

RIP my friend, Roger Burns...Larry G.

I knew Roger was very ill. He was always fun to talk to at shows, and every so often he would offer me a nice bargain on something unusual-

Roger always had the table closest to the enterance at the White Plains show. He was a very nice guy, one who always had some interesting observation. Rest in peace my friend.

Sorry to hear about Roger's passing. It was an honor to know Roger. He was a pioneer, a gentleman, & a knowledgeable man in the sports card industry. He will be truly missed by all the card dealers that knew him.

Very sorry to hear this. I knew Roger for more than 15 years. He was one of the few guys that you knew would be at every show and he'd usually have great stuff in tow. He helped me out as a collector many times, plus he made me laugh. I'll miss him.

Nice guy, soft-spoken, took the time to chat with collectors. I didn't know him well, but it was always a pleasure to hang out with him talking cards and make an occasional deal. He will be missed. RIP.
