Roger received God's grace through the waters of Holy Baptism on August 28, 1921, as the first person baptized at the current St. John Lutheran Church in Aliceville. He confirmed his faith on April 8, 1934, at St. John, and continued in his faith and membership in the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod for his entire lifetime. Following his graduation from Westphalia High School, Roger attended Kansas State University for one semester. This was enough to instill in him a love for all things purple and white, and he was a life-long fan of Wildcat athletics. On May 29, 1942, Roger enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. He served his country honorably in the Pacific theatre of World War II, fighting in the battles for Guadalcanal, Saipan, Tinian and Tarawa. Although he was discharged in 1946, Roger honored the creed, "Semper Fidelis" throughout his life and often stated, "Once a Marine, always a Marine." On June 15, 1947, Roger joined Bernita Becker in marriage at St. John. They lived their entire married life in the Aliceville area, with the last 51 years being on their farm on the east side of Aliceville. While maintaining the farm, Roger also worked on the Missouri Pacific railroad, concrete construction with Don Conroy construction of Topeka, and with the Coffey County road and bridge crew. Until his later years, Roger enjoyed bowling and could be found at the Coffey Bowl on Tuesday nights bowling on the late league. For many years, Roger coached various local men's softball teams and had an enduring love for the game of baseball. He enjoyed following the Kansas City Royals through good times and bad. He also faithfully kept his brackets up-to-date every year during "March Madness". Roger was "Daddy" to nine children: Alan (Jean), Centennial, CO; Cathi (Phil) Temple, Aliceville; Stan (Mary), Madison; Cindy (Bill) Hill, Waverly; Marcie (Tommy) Vargas, Winfield; Lucy (Curtis) Kettler, Paola; Mari (Richard) Townsend, Burlington; Owen (Kathryn), Aliceville; and Randy (Kathy), Topeka. Roger joined his savior on May 25, 2012, at the age of 90 years, 9 months and 8 days. He spent his final days at the Life Care Center of Burlington. He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers and sisters, and one granddaughter, Caryn Temple. His memory will be honored with sincere joy by his wife, children, 26 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews, and countless other family and friends. Funeral services will be at 10:00 A.M. on Thursday, May 31, 2012, at St. John Lutheran Church in Aliceville. Burial with military honors will follow at St. John Cemetery. The family will receive friends for visitation on Wednesday evening from 7:00 to 8:00 P.M., at Jones Funeral Home in Burlington. Memorial contributions to "LCMS Ministry to the Armed Forces", "Lutheran Hour Ministries" or "St. John Lutheran Church" may be sent in care of Jones Funeral Home, P.O. Box 277, Burlington, KS 66839.
