I watched This Old House religiously when I was a kid; between that and Nature when it was hosted by George Page, those were my regular sermons on Sunday evenings. It's one of few things I look back fondly on, spending time with my dad.
As a viewer you could tell 5+ years ago that Roger was ill with something. Crass on my part to speculate but I figured he had cancer: he looked gaunt in the exact same way that my grandfather (who died of cancer...) did 30 years ago did when he was going through chemo.
RIP Rog.
