Roger Gossick

My Uncle Roger was always a generous and kind spirit, with an ability to have a lot of fun throughout life, no matter the circumstances. I think that unique character comes from his Gossick family roots and continues through the way his sister and cousins live life - my mom Cindy Johnson, and Aunts Pat, Susie and Sharon all share that unique Gossick zest for life. I always enjoyed the way Uncle Roger looked at the world with a keen sense of humor and a quick mind. His unique ability to always have a new joke or perspective on things that made me laugh or think about something in a new way was something I looked forward to over the years as his nephew. I have many memories from Gossick family reunions and other times we were together of his hearty laugh and bringing a smile to those around him. He always had a new story as well to share from his adventures and many interesting experiences, and those stories were always well-told and captured my imagination. Also, I value and learned from the way he always put effort over the years getting the extended Gossick family together to make new memories. He loved his kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids well, encouraged me in my Air Force and flying career, served faithfully, and reflected so many of the great things about his dad and my grandpa – he very much reminded me of Lee Van Gossick, who was one of my childhood heroes. I am thankful for his love and support! Blue Skies Uncle Roger. You are missed!
