Memories

WOW, he was some guy

Jessica Yeung May 13, 2009

well he wasn't just some guy, he was a very special guy. I am a high school student who just finished an ISU on his life and the reasons why i chose him as a global citizen. After reading all these touching stories, memories, and success Rogers has gone through, i say that i made the right choice in choosing him. His life was a role model for many younger generations out there such as myself. And hopefully many others will realize what the world would be like if Rogers has not been here to impact it. Rest in Peace, God Bless Edward Samuel Ted Rogers Jr.

Our family places a huge premium on communication. We are connected even when we are not all at home, and we thank you Ted, for building such a company to help keep us that way. Your book was an inspiration for entrepreneurs.
Rest eternal, dear friend.
