Roger William Penner

1941 - 2010

Roger Penner was born May 10, 1941. On April 1, 2010, he went to live in Heaven with Jesus and his mom and dad, Opal and William Penner. He had lived at Michael's House in Ramona for the last 30 years of his life. Roger had worked at Unyeway until 2009 when he chose to "retire" and spend his days enjoying Bingo and activities at the Ramona Adult Day Health Care.
Roger loved spending time with all of his housemates, going to movies, fishing, eating out, and especially bowling. He had participated in many bowling tournaments as well as Special Olympics. He had also been a faithful member of Scout Troop 1291 in Ramona.
Roger is survived by his brother, Bruce (Hazel); sisters, Wilma (Robert) Foster and Donna Stamper. He is also survived by his ten house brothers, Ken O'Connor, Eldon Setterholm, Steve DeNess, Matt Phelps, Matt Hansen, Joe Carl, Joe San Filippo, Gary Hager, Casey Wagner and James Bailey; as well as the entire staff, past and present, of Michael's House.
Roger is sorely missed by all those whose lives he touched. Roger's family and friends wish to thank Dr. Todd Steinberg for his loving care through the years and to Dr. Mark Boiskin for Roger's special care in his last few months.
Burial was at Nuevo Gardens on April 21.
