He was born February 3, 1937 in Alexandria, MN where he spent his childhood. He graduated from St. Olaf College and entered the Air Force for a 26 year career as pilot and instructor. After the military, he worked in airport management and airline compliance, finally “really” retiring to engage in his many hobbies and his beloved church work. His sparkling eyes and genuine smile said "You're special" and he will be missed.
He is survived by his children Julie, Jan and Jill; his wife, Linda; her children Rod, Lori and Cami, 11 grandchildren and soon-to-be three (!) great-grandchildren. A service with full military honors will be held on June 24th in Texas. Family services will be held in Maryland and Minnesota at later dates. Those wishing to do so may contribute to Wounded Warriors in his name.
Family and friends are invited to sign Roger's online guestbook at www.zoellerfuneralhm.com
