Roger Nepstad Obituary
Roger had a love for horse racing, especially the Kentucky Derby in which he traveled to for over 20 years. He also was a NASCAR fan, and a dedicated member of the Loyal Order of Vikings Batavia Ring Lodge #18 and Batavia Moose Lodge #682. In 1952 he worked with his future father-in-law at Jack's Finer Meats in Aurora, IL on Broadway St, followed by years of service in the meat industry highlighted by a bright orange delivery truck that was a staple of his Batavia neighborhood. His great sense of humor will be missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Jean; three children, Teri (Ronald) Burgess of Houston, TX, Lynn (John) Winkelman of Marengo, IL and Eric (Valerie Malone) Nepstad of Sycamore, IL; four grandchildren, Travis and Tyler Burgess, Matthew and Richard Altepeter; his mother, Lula Nepstad; two brothers, Richard (Dorothy) Nepstad of North Aurora and Douglas (Brigette) Nepstad of Hochdorf, Germany; and several nieces and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his father, Oscar; and a granddaughter, Carol Altepeter.

To Jean and all family members,
I am saddened to learn of Roger's passing. Although it has been many years since we last spoke, my memory of his sense of humor and gift of conversation has not deminished. I recall vividly his occassional visits while I worked on the race cars that Jack owned and sponsored. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time

I was deeply saddened when I heard that Uncle Rog had passed away. I wasn’t sure what to write here, so I thought I’d share a wonderful memory:
I'll never forget when Uncle Rog and Aunt Jean came to visit us in Germany and he sang the song: "In Wisconsin, Ole Jansen, fell in love with the sweet Swedish Miss Hilda Swanson…”
Mom and Dad probably still have the tape to prove it. It was so funny and we were laughing so hard until the neighbors rang the doorbell.
Although I have not spent that much time with Uncle Rog, I have very fond memories about visits with him and Aunt Jean. He will be greatly missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Love,
Karen and Family
