June 16, 1947 - February 20, 2015

Roger L. Waite, age 67, of Wheeler, WI passed away Friday, Feb. 20, 2015 at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire. He was born June 16, 1947 in Eau Claire, WI. He was the son of Stanley and Adeline (Holten) Waite. Roger served in the U.S. Navy and was a veteran of the Viet Nam war. Roger had a wicked sense of humor and could remember and tell stories about his friends and tell jokes like no other. He was a giant of a man, his physique however was not as large as the legend he leaves behind. It is hard to imagine a world without the “Fat Cat”. Roger will be missed greatly by his family and many friends. Roger is survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, Stanley and Adeline Waite. There will be visitation from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, March 3, 2015 at Olson Funeral Home in Menomonie, with military honors by Menomonie Veterans Honor Guard at 5:00 p.m. Burial will be in Akers Cemetery, Twp. of Prairie Farm, Barron Co., Wisconsin at a later date.
