Coach, I always enjoyed being around you. You cared for your students and you were quite entertaining. You had to regularly show mw the "fishhook". I wish your family the very best during this difficult time.

To Randy's family, my condolences. I remember the triple r car driving around town. How many people he helped to learn to drive. A great resource to the community. Thank you Randy.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have such fond memories of coach Rogers from wrestling at West High School. He had a positive energy and really connected with students. He was just starting Triple R Driving School and he drove us around in his first car, complete with the passenger side brake and door magnets for advertising.

Dear Rogers Family, We have never met but I live in your old Coralville neighborhood. For two decades I have daily driven or walked by your house.

I often saw Randy, said hello or waved. His big smile and wave were always appreciated. I know many parents who entrusted their children to learn to drive from him. From reading the obituary he leaves an impactful legacy My condolences on your loss.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Randy was such a great person. He and Dale were close friends during all those West High Years. My sincere sympathy to all of you.

You have my emmence sympathies on your loss of a giant in education. Randy was my favorite teacher at West High and encouraged me to go to Iowa State majoring in Architecture. I took every drafting class West had to offer, so Randy created an independent study class just for me to design a house with plans and a model. I took the project to UNI for Industrial Art context and won a 1st place award. He displayed that model for many years in his classroom after I graduated in 1973. Randy will be missed by all our classmates.

He was one of my teachers for all four years at West. His classes were some of my fondest memories from high school, was really great at connecting individually to all his students. A rare gem, glad he was able to inspire the lives of so many kids. He'll be missed❤️.

God bless you Coach and the Rogers Family. Such a great man that cared about all of us at West High and beyond. Rest in Peace.

RIP coach! Randy taught my older sister, many (if not all) of her kids and my youngest daughter how to drive. He was my wrestling coach at West high back when they still had Junior high there.

He had - HAS my respect and I will miss him. God bless, Randy, l. You were one in a million.

Shirlee and family, the Plate family mourns your loss with us. Radny was a great family friend and a wonderful mentor to Charlie. I'm sure they are getting reacquainted now in heaven. Prayer to all of you

Although I never had Mr. Rogers as a teacher, you could tell he was a great educator who connected well with all students. He always appeared to be having fun! Years later, my children went to RRR for driver's ed and he still had a way of relating to kids. Rest in peace, Mr. R! Lynn Schnoebelen Knight
