The name may not ring a bell with some of you since he's been in semiretirement the last 13 years or so, but Rogers was a keen chronicler of life in North Carolina in print and on video, especially stories dealing with Eastern North Carolina, which he rightly felt was often overlooked and little regarded by those living in the Triangle. Another loss of an authentic, distinctive voice in our region.

To paraphrase Dr. Johnny Fever, "Who will teach the children about eastern NC barbecue?" I'm sorry for his passing.

I met him several years ago in Asheville.
Told him how much we missed him in the N&O. Seemed to embarrass him. Humble guy, I think.

RIP, Dennis.

When I came to visit my brother, while in the navy, the first thing I would always do when I got ahold of the N&O, was find Dennis Rogers’ column.

Sorry to hear the news. I didn't realize he was sick. I enjoyed his columns over the years.

Condolences to his family.

Yep. I would have figured he was older. Started reading him in the mid-80's at NC State when "everyone" got the newspaper

Disadvantage of getting older...so many people you "knew" pass.

Thoughts and prayers for the family of Dennis Rogers.

I would have thought he was older too. Only 77 and it seems so long ago when he retired.
