I remember watching when he had to step back from the show. He never said what was specifically wrong, but you knew it had to be pretty big for him to have to leave.
I never miss an episode. And I've very much missed Roger being on there with them.
My heart goes out to his family, as well as his This Old House family.
Edited to add this very moving obituary. Sounds like he was every bit the nice guy you saw on the screen.

Someone said the link wasn't working. I tried it and it took me to the newspaper, but not directly to the obituary. Obituary was the second or third article down on that page. Went to the page, copied the URL, put it in a browser and then it took me straight to the obituary again. Go figure. Same URL.
