I remember going to the Capital for a school strip. I got to see him again. He signed my autograph book and gave us all a flag sticker. I'm 69 now and I still have that sticker. We lost a great man and God got a great man to be his angel. God bless you Mr Jepsen. Your kindness changed my life. RIP

We have so many good memories of Dee and Roger and family. I almost feel like we are part of the family. He was also Jack's Company Commander in the Army Reserves for a short time. My Mother and sister both worked for Dee and Roger in their home. We extend our deepest condolences to the Jepsen family. Genie and Jack Schinckel

What a special life. I will always be grateful Roger would include us kids in outings with your family. He helped my mother get her beauty shop established by getting a variance for a residential area. Us kids had a good life because of it. Your family will always hold a special place in my heart.
