Roger Lee Zimmerman
April 9, 1938 – January 2, 2004

Roger Zimmerman born on April 9, 1938. He
was the first son of Jerome and
Christine Zimmerman of Stevens Point,
Wisconsin. He attended St. Stephen’s
Parochial School, St. Norbert High
School, and later St. Norbert College,
where he graduated in 1960. He met his
wife Annette as a sophomore in high
school. They dated between the towns
of Stevens Point and Green Bay,
Wisconsin and were married life together.
Roger was shy and introverted in his
early years, but grew into a strong,
caring leader. He was an altar boy
from 3rd to 8th grade, a Boy Scout, and
loved outdoor sports (at one point
fearlessly skiing down Stevens Point’s
Iverson Park ski jump with just leather
straps for bindings). He delivered
groceries for the markets that his dad
owned while he was growing up.
Roger was active in ROTC and entered
the Army after graduation from
college. He left the army as a
helicopter pilot with the rank of
Captain. He then worked for the West
Bend Company before taking a job with
the Mobil Oil Corporation. He worked
for Mobil for 29 years and retired in
1993. Roger and Annette then moved back
closer to their family in the
Bellingham area.
He is survived by his wife, Annette;
two sons Chris and Michael; a daughter
Ann and her children Zachary and
Cayleigh.
Roger is also survived by one brother
Michael (Barb) Zimmerman of West
Dundee, IL; three sisters, Patricia
(Tom) Geraghty of Menasha, WI, June
(Michael) Uss of Onalaska, WI, and Mary
(Peter) Brill of Whitefish Bay, WI; and
numerous nieces and nephews.
His devotion to his siblings and his
parents was never ending. It is
impossible to put into words all of the
things that he did for family.
Memorials may be made to the Boy Scouts
of America, Girl Scouts of America,
Sacred Heart Parish, or Hospice of
Whatcom County.
Funeral services will be held Friday,
January 9th at 12:10 PM at Sacred Heart
