- Roger Allan Holland was born on May 31, 1942, at the family home in Amhurst, SD. He was the son of Alvin and Emma (Flaftwagt) Holland. Roger had four brothers and two sisters. He grew up in Langford and attended school there through the eighth grade. He enjoyed spending his summers with his uncles and aunts. He worked with his brothers at the family bar.
- Roger was united in marriage with Geneva Elsberry on June 27, 1965, in Claremont, SD. Roger and Geneva were blessed with two children: Teresa and Mark.
- The family moved to Milbank, SD in 2001. Roger worked as the manager of the Milbank Landfill…and NEVER allowed anyone to refer to it as “the city dump!” Roger took great pride in his job and loved to visit with everyone that stopped by. He worked until his retirement in August of 2020.
- Roger faithfully listened to his transistor radio daily. He loved the music, news, and always listened to the high school sports. He never missed a wrestling match that his grandson participated in, even if it was by listening to the radio. He adored his grandchildren and enjoyed playing cards. He often said he “grew up playing cards.” Roger kept his vehicles immaculately clean. No one was allowed to eat or drink in his vehicles.
