Hazel Ruth Ingram
1923 - 2013
My mother, Hazel Ruth (Jordan) Ingram, passed away in her sleep Friday, August 2nd 2013. She was 89. My family and I had the honor and privilege of sharing our home with her during the last year of her life. Hazel was one of the most selfless, kind, tolerant and intelligent individuals I have ever known. I was very lucky to have her as my mother. We miss her more than words can describe.
I love you mom...

Ta Da!! We finally did it folks...
| Vicky and I were married on April 2nd, 2010. We had an intimate civil ceremony with friends and family at our favorite Irish Pub and Restaurant. It's a nice little place near our home with a beautiful backroom where people get married, have anniversary parties, etc. The ceremony was presided over by a good friend of ours, a seated Cook County Judge. We celebrated all night, and did NOT do the dishes when we came home. ;-) |

February 2010: After 20 years I will no longer be touring with Harry Connick Jr. and his orchestra. For a multitude of reasons, it has become necessary for me to finally move on. I thank Harry for a wild ride that lasted 2 decades. It was a lot of fun, to say the least; I wish Harry and the band all the best. Now I'm home safe, happy, healthy and am enjoying being able to spend more time with my family. ;-)
Because I am no longer handcuffed to a touring schedule, I now have a greater opportunity to book educational events, concerts, and recording sessions; there is a new book in the works as well!
Onward and upward my friends!
Roger
