Roger William Wollin-78-Husband, Dad and Grandpa
Lake Mills, July 3, 2014.
"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." - Psalm 23-
Roger W. Wollin, 78, Lake Mills, WI was led by his Lord into Heaven's gates on Thursday, July 3, 2014.
He was born on March 13, 1936, the son of the late Albert C. and Martha (Brockhaus) Wollin at his home in Lake Mills, WI.
Roger graduated from Lake Mills High School with the class of 1954 and married his high school sweetheart Carole Soper, on November 5th, 1955 at First Congregational United Church of Christ in Lake Mills.
He worked various jobs from an electrician for Ray Mason, to the produce department at Sentry Foods in Lake Mills, and alongside his father and brother at Wollin Silos.
Then in 1968 he decided it was time to venture out on his own and started his own company, Fiberdome Inc., retiring in 2009.
Roger was a member of the First Congregational UCC in Lake Mills, a former member of Jefferson Co. Lodge #6 F.&A.M., and longtime member of the Lake Mills Rotary Club.
Roger's first true passion was his family. His smiling face was present at the many family events and vacations he spent with his wife, children and grandchildren.
His other great passion was "anything" outdoors. He was a true Sportsman from hunting, fishing, trapping (many of which was spent doing on his land and at his cabin in Cable, WI.) to the more traditional sports of playing cards and golfing with his wife and many of their wonderful friends, either in Lake Mills or wintering in Lake Havasu, AZ.
Survivors include his wife, Carole; his four children and ten grandchildren, who he loved with all his heart: Barbara (Steve) Bendall of Lake Mills, Susan (Keith) Krumholz of Burlington, WI, Laura (Kurt) Siegel of Lake Mills, and Richard (Tina) Wollin of Lake Mills; Nicole (Matthew) Dederich, Christopher (fiancé Courtney Froelich) Bendall, Alyssa Krumholz, Andrew Krumholz, Rebecca Krumholz, Nathan Siegel, Carley Siegel, Richard Wollin, Anthony Wollin and Ava Wollin.
He is also survived by his sister Mary Dominski and brother Albert (Marple) Wollin, many nieces and nephews.
He was also preceded in death by a brother-in-law, Don Dominski.
Funeral services will be held on Thursday, July 10th at 11:00 a.m., with visitation from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. at the First Congregational UCC in Lake Mills, WI.
A celebratory luncheon will follow with sharing of memories encouraged.
A private family burial will follow.
If desired, memorials may be made to the First Congregational United Church Of Christ Lake Mills or Rainbow Hospice Care, Inc. of Jefferson.
A special thanks to the caring and supportive staff at Sienna Crest, Fort Atkinson, and to his many family members and friends for their love and friendship given to him throughout his life.
