We chatted about some things that I had learned on TOH and I let him know how much I appreciated the work that he and the crew did. He was such a warm and genuine person. Thanks Roger, RIP my friend.

    I saw Roger as an extension of family. He was so loving and caring to others, and he cared so deeply about his craft in landscaping and everything else about homeownership.
    Roger was so passionate and vocal about sun safety after facing a battle with melanoma that my own father passed on from. It hurts my heart that you will no longer share your passion and creativity with us. You are so deeply missed Roger, but your hard work and efforts have inspired so many generations of people. We love you Roger.

    I remember Roger addressing the MA DEP annual recycling coordinator conference. He was the main speaker in front of several hundred municipal recycling coordinators. He started out a bit nervous but he gave an outstanding speech. Loud voice, clear, funny and very knowledgeable. Everyone at the conference was a huge fan of Rogers and gave him a wild round of applause when he finished with the phase “It’s not easy being green…..”
    This was years ago but Roger left quite an impression!
    Rest in Peace Roger. You were quite a teacher.

    I’m 42, and as a child, my dad would watch This Old House. During those childhood years, I never had any interest and always wanted to change the channel. After growing up, getting married, having children, and purchasing a house, I began gravitating toward This Old House. As an adult, I have thoroughly enjoyed the show and will miss Roger Cook. Thankfully, Roger’s knowledge and impact will continue to live on through This Old House and all the fans-present and future! Thank you, This Old House!

I’m hopeful we never lose that way of life and experiences.

      the BIG difference between TOH and the other copy cats that came later on DIY, is that TOH actually goes into the details of stuff, teaches techniques and tips (and oh those Rich Trethewey cutaways) so that when you buy or upgrade your domicile, you have a clue. I actually demoed, and remodeled a kitchen, including building my own cabinets, using what I learned from TOH and Norm's Yankee Workshop. This extends to landscape and tree planting...

    Thank you Roger for sharing your wisdom through the years. I have beautiful landscaping and a thriving, though relatively young orchard because of your contribution to This Old House and DIYers everywhere. Your library of wisdom will be sorely missed. May your loved ones, friends, and colleagues find comfort in your passing.

    Oh man... That sucks...Roger was a fixture of real Americana, it is hard to believe someone like that can even die. He was truly larger than life. He will be greatly missed and remembered, and will be a role model and teacher to those that seek out his wisdom and humor on this show for generations into the future. Prayers for his family and friends. Peace be with you Roger.

    RIP Roger. I'm 44 years old, there's not a time i can't remember when this show wasn't on air. My Dad passed a few years ago, I can't watch this show without thinking of him. I still watch regularly. I want to say thanks to all of the cast and crew of TOH for bringing us together, even when I was a teenager and didn't want to hangout with my Dad.
