He enjoyed epic road trips with his wife, Mona (the Navigator), fishing, lake life, saunas and socializing at the Y, and discourse and debate with any and all takers. Later in life he “discovered” this strange new thing called a computer, and so began his exploration of the wonders of the Internet. This allowed him a new way to reach out to old and new friends to continue the debates of life. Roger also loved cooking and he shared this by creating wonderful meals for family and friends at home, at the cabin, and in various hunting and fishing camps across the Northland. Preceding him in death were his parents; and his wife, Mona, in 2008. Survivors include his children, Kurt Ophus of Minneapolis, and Tia (Joe) Scarce of Kirkland, Wash.; a granddaughter, Kyrie Scarce; and his siblings, Marjorie (Ira) Mjelde of Erskine, Fred (Donna) Ophus of Granada Hills Calif., and Sandra (John) Delmore of Coon Rapids.
