A celebration of Roger’s life is planned for a later date.
Roger was my dad’s best friend and colleague at 3M for many years. We did a lot of camping together and enjoyed hearing his stories around the campfire. Roger will be missed, but I find comfort in knowing he is with his beloved Louise at last.

On behalf of the Forest Lake American Legion Post 225, we give thanks for Roger’s military service to our country in the Army.
He was a great person
To the Goeppinger family, I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Roger on a few projects over our working years at 3M. He was one of the “good guys” to work with.
Roger, thank you for your service to our country, may you RIP.

Nancy,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know how difficult it is to lose a brother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Love you, Jan
My best memory of Roger and Louise was when I stayed with them when I worked at the State Capitol for a week when in high school. They were so welcoming and the best cousins in the world. My husband and I had planned on visiting Roger this summer when we got back to Minnesota – I am so sorry we missed an opportunity to catch up and visit. My sympathy to Beth and Nancy and the family. Your cousin Julie Sellgren Schlekau.
