Roger Dale Hunsinger

Roger Dale Hunsinger, 96, of Duluth, died on July 13, 2026. Born in Duluth on November 14, 1929; Swedish-American cooking and payday thrift set the tone of the house. From the start, he treated promises like tools: keep them sharp, do not lend them lightly. He oiled conveyors that never held still. A conveyor oil rag on a hook outlasted two captains. Colleagues still mention a conveyor oil rag on a hook. He married Marilyn in 1954. They kept a house that stayed modest when the neighborhood did not. They raised a daughter and two sons through public schools and ordinary weather. After Marilyn died in 2019, he kept the routines that still made sense: the walk, the garden, the Sunday call. Neighbors remember a wave from the driveway that meant you were seen. Mornings were his favorite shift at home. He died in Duluth, on streets that already knew his pace. The extra coffee is still in the thermos.
