Descendancy from original armiger
Father: Dennis Elwin Roe (1944-1989) United States
Design rationale
The arms are inherited from my father. The primary charge is a bit of heraldic humor in the form of a cant—a famous comedian once wrote that “The Great Roe is a mythological beast with the head of a lion and the body of a lion, though not the same lion.” To say I am a dog person is a bit of an understatement, and the crest uses a black dog as symbol for all the dogs that have been, and will be part of my life. The candle the dog holds over its shoulder pares with the motto, “I Sleep Not”, in a double entendre not only of a busy life, but also of the insomnia that has plagued me since early adolescence
Note
Only the shield is being inherited from my father. The crest, motto and badge are original and are being assumed.
