Roger Lee Hall was born on December 16, 1944, in a home on the
family farm near Granada, MN, the son of Wilbur Wendell and Clara
Emma (Measor) Hall. Roger received his education attending school in
Granada and graduated from Granada High School.
Following his graduation, attended Dunwoody College of Technology,
and later enlisted with the United States Army where he served
proudly until receiving his honorable discharge.
On October 15, 1965, Roger was united in marriage to Harriet
Danielson in Northrop, MN. Together the couple made their home on a
farm near Northrop and were blessed with two children, Jeffrey and
Steven.
Roger loved living the life of a farmer. In his younger years, he
found a passion for welding and worked for many years at Standard
Welding. He then began working for Stokely’s where he harvested
sweet corn earning the nickname of “Sweet Corn King”. Roger never
lost his love for raising crops and looked forward to the change of
the seasons and the work that came with it.
In his youth, Roger looked forward to throwing his leg over his
motorcycle and cruising the countryside on road trips with the
Traveler’s Motorcycle Club. In his later years, Roger looked forward
to heading to warmer weather in the winter following the open road
on trips to the South. He treasured spending time with family and
friends especially “Spud” and his coffee buddies where they met at
Perkins to solve the world’s problems over a warm cup of coffee.
Roger was a member of Grace Lutheran Church in Fairmont, the Lee C.
Prentice American Legion Post #36, and was a proud member of the
Iron Workers Union.
Left to cherish his memory are his sons, Jeffrey L. Hall and Steven
J. Hall; granddaughter, Makayla L. Hall “Spud”; two
step-grandchildren, Kammy (Matt) Sadler and Kasey Adams-Urban;
brother, Donald Hall; sister-in-law, Patricia Hall; niece Heather
(David) Wiederhoeft; nephew, Ryan (Jodi) Hall; as well as many other
extended family and friends.
