It is with a very heavy heart that I inform all of you that we have lost a very close friend and long time member of Deland and Orange City Shuffleboard Club, Roger Vandevender.  Roger passed away October 13th in Elkins, WV.  

Roger was a dear friend to many of us – past and present.  His witty remarks, heartwarming laughter and love of the game brought us joy and will forever remind us why we, like him, love this game.

The club will be making a donation to plant 3 trees, in his memory, and as such will symbolize Roger’s impact on us all:  past, present and future.

We believe Alice and her sister Pat will be spending the winter in Florida, however, no details as yet.
