He spent the last 7 years in Harrisonville, which he adapted to really quickly. He loved the people here and he quickly had his own place in his daughter's home. He was only an hour away from the Sac/Osage River where he could go fishing whenever he wantedwhich was quite often.
Roscoe started attending Crossroads Assembly of God church and he immediately felt at home there. Going to church and trying to live the way the bible taught him was always very important to him.
Roscoe loved his family with all of his heart. He was the best dad and grandpa anyone could have ever wanted and we were truly ""blessed"" to have him as ours. He will definitely be missed here, but we will see him again and he promised to watch for us all and open the gates if he was allowed to.
