Roger Clayton Hultstrand
Roger was born in St Cloud, Minnesota to Gunnar and Violet Hultstrand
on March 17,1934.
He attended Luther College, University of Minnesota and the University
of Idaho.
He was accepted into the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut
(1956-1958) and while there he met the “ultimate earthly gift”, our Mom, Joanne
Storbakken.
His life would never be the
same!
They were married and traveled the
world together. She was the “spark” that kept him smiling daily for 61
wonderful years together. Raising three daughters brought him lots of joy and
gray hair!
He was an award-winning educator (Hillside Middle School and Capital
High School).
He taught history, speech
and drama, and coached tennis, volleyball and basketball.
He was also a businessman; he worked for States Investment, Royal Fork
and Kings Table Buffet for 22 years.
After “retiring”, he joined other retirees shuttling cars for Avis
between Boise, Sun Valley and Salt Lake City.
Dad loved tennis and he and Mom volunteered at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian
Wells for 14 years.
He was an avid reader, passionate about music, drove cars at a fast and
steady speed, gave lectures, enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening and he could
SING.
Dad is survived by his beautiful wife Joanne, three daughters, Laurie
(Drew) Macauley, Susie (Greg) Wiet, Julie (Charlie) Bernstein and his twelve
grandchildren, Matt Connor, Jason Connor, Courtney Connor, John (Kristen)
Macauley, Chris Wiet, Matt (Jenna) Wiet, Katie Wiet, Ryan Wiet, Abby Wiet,
Wills Wiet, Jake Bernstein, Cody Bernstein, two sisters, Bonnie Hultstrand,
