In his early years he had many different jobs, working for the CPR installing telegraph lines in the mountains, driving trucks for oil companies across Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, mining in Uranium City, or bentonite clay at Baroid Plant in Onoway. He moved with his family back to the Ungstad family farm in 1961, where he lived the rest of his life. His farm life included welding, mechanical work and carpentry. He loved sports and was very active playing baseball, curling, and horseshoes – depending on the season. Roald was very proud of his children and grandchildren and always interested in what they were doing. He had difficulty remembering their names but remembered what sports or jobs they were involved with. He was also very proud of his Norwegian heritage and being a Viking. A trip to Norway in 1980, as well as some other holidays like to the Yukon, were highlights. Over the years he had many health issues including numerous brain injuries, strokes and other medical problems. He spent his last years mostly in a wheelchair. Roald loved going to the "Hills of Peace Camp" every summer. He enjoyed driving his scooter around the grounds, eating the food, and attending the services. He loved jokes and enjoyed laughing. Over the past twenty-five years, he was fortunate to have excellent doctors, nursing care and home care staff attending to him. Roald loved the home care ladies and Colton. He was always pleasant and happy to see them. The entire family is grateful for the excellent home care he received. In his later years, he found comfort and joy digging weeds, particularly dandelions, watching birds and reading books about farming, history, Norway, and the series about an unusual bounty hunter. He was very loyal to the things that he liked such as Allis Chalmers tractors and Ford cars and trucks. He especially liked to wear Ford caps or jackets. He also enjoyed watching sports and playing cards, especially bridge and crib. Beating the home care ladies at crib was his passion. Funeral services will be held at 1:00pm on Saturday, August 17, 2013 at the Ponoka Funeral Home; viewing at 10:30 a.m. Internment at the Forest Home Cemetery in Ponoka.
