Roger Clifford Wadell
was born on February 4,
1942 in St. Paul, MN to
Clifford and Evelyn (Ol-
son) Wadell. He grew up
in St. Paul and graduated
from Washington High
School in 1960. Roger

a Dental Technician in the
Medical Corps. On June
27, 1964 he married Lois
Dubovoy in Minot, ND.
They moved to Horace,
ND in 1977 and later to
Fargo. Roger worked as a
car salesman for Wall-
works, Valley Ford and
most recently with Luther
Family Ford in Fargo. He
formed many lasting rela-
tionships over the 22
years at Luther and Roger
would say that he didn’t
have customers, he had
friends.

able. He enjoyed bow and
black powder hunting,
fishing, leather crafting
and scrimshaw.
He was preceded in
death by his parents; sis-
ter, Carol Turchin; step-
father, Arnold Hillman;
