Roger, as a moderator on the "other forum", I wish to say that I have enjoyed working with you over the last year or so.

Good luck to you going forward.

Roger,
Your presence will be missed immensely. I pray you are not ill. I can certainly understand it if you want to pass the torch to another. You have done a yeoman job and will be hard to replace. I hope you feel it's time for another to come forward and try to fill your big shoes. Thats what keeps an organization healthy. To have a successful endeavor everyone should try in some way to contribute to it's success.
However I will miss your calm steady hand on the tiller. Best of luck to you.

Hi Roger

It was a big shock to read your announcement - all I can say is that you will be very much missed here. Of course. I too fully respect your decision and I really do hope to still see you at the odd Hayley concert in the future.

May I also thankyou for all the support and dedication that you have given to the forum over the years and for being one of the many friends that I have made as a result of supporting Hayley through our forum. We have all shared some great moments together, before, during & after a concert which will never be forgotten.

I really wish you well for the future.

Very best wishes
Mark

Quite a shock! Although I am new, I always counted on you to provide me with answers to any technical questions, and you didn't disappoint, always providing detailed and relevant info (for example: copyright issues regarding sheet music!! )

Thanks again! You will be missed!

Cheers

Ben

What a shock!! Roger, you have run this site brilliantly, and it is very sad to see you go. Your contribution to the enjoyment of this site, and I'm sure to Hayley's success, has been enormous. I cannot thank you enough for all that you have done, and I wish you the best of everything for the future. I know that it cannot have been an easy decision, and I cannot imagine what can have led you to make it. It must have been pretty traumatic, and I am concerned for you, although I don't want to pry. Be assured, you will be in my prayers. We will never forget you, and I too would like to think that one day you will be able to return.

Best wishes for the future and God Bless. And once again thank you! You will be sorely missed.

Hi Roger,

I'd like to thank you for your work on HWI -- the place that helped me discover Hayley. Hayley's music has given me so much pleasure in the last few years and I have you to thank for much of that.

I wish you the best and hopefully Hayley's music will continue to give you the same pleasure, comfort, thrills and escape as it gives me.

Well, this comes as a shock, there was nothing leading up to this. Roger, I am sorry to see you go, someone will have to succeed you, but no one can ever replace you, just as no one could ever really replace Keith.

Good luck in whatever's next.

Hi everyone,well goodness me this is something I sure didn't expect.May I say thanks very much Roger for your work on keeping this forum ticking over and the behind the scene's work that goes on.I would imagine the work involved would be pretty intense and require a substantial amount of time,to this end I say sincerely, thanks a mighty million my friend and it was a pleasure to meet you at Southend just last month. I like everyone else hope you will pop in and say “Hi” and attend a Hayley concert when you can.

All the best Roger hope we meet again in the not too distant future,

cheers,

Roger,

I was truly shocked to learn of your sudden departure from the forum.

Thank you for all you've done, sir. Your kindness and friendship for over five years won't be forgotten.

Hi Roger,
I only fell over this news 10 minutes ago & am as startled as everyone else.

It is very sad news about Roger leaving and I wish Roger the best for his future. I also want to give Dave my full support for taking over the site.

Hi Roger

Like everyone else I am deeply shocked at your departure from HWI. For all the time I've been here you have been the heart of the forum and you will be sorely missed - your legacy is the continued growth and success of this forum.

Thanks for all you have done here over the years, and hoping you will continue to find enjoyment and inspiration from Hayley's music and that maybe sometime we will see you here again.

I've only met you two or three times, but I hope I'm allowed to say good luck, my friend, with whatever the future holds.

Kind regards

Colin

In the words of my namesake Victor Meldrew, "I don't believe it".

Roger,

thank you for all that you have done whilst taking the helm for HWI and thank you for starting and maintaining AAI whilst All Angels were in the care of Bedlam.

Thank you for helping us all get closer to Hayley, her family and her management team.

I hope that we shall continue to see you at concerts in the future.

Good luck.

With best wishes,
Drew

PS. and good luck to Dave and other members of the team.
