Rollan Kister, a resident of Douglas, passed away at his home on July 4, 2009, from emphysema.
Rollan was born Oct. 26, 1928, in Montpelier, Idaho, the son of George John and Pearl Myrtle (Babcock) Kister. He was the third of 10 children and was raised in Veteran.

Rollan loved people and he loved to work. He held many occupations in his life, including oil field work, diamond core drilling in the Sunrise mine and owning a furniture store and auction houses.

He was an avid license plate collector. Among his collection was a complete set of 1915 thru 2009 Wyoming plates.
Every year he loved driving his 1953 Chevy car in the Wyoming State Fair Parade with Maxine riding beside him.
Rollan was preceded in death by his parents, five brothers and one sister.
He is survived by his wife, Maxine of Douglas; son George and wife JoAnn of Rancho Cuckamonga, Calif., and their children Chris, Andy, Melody Wall and Jenny; son Ken of Casper; daughter Kathy Nachtman and husband Jerry of Jay Em and their children, Casey, Marcy Kier and Jodi Grohs; daughter Jane Bryson of Casper and her children, Jack, Katy and John; 17 great-grandchildren; sisters Gladys Dietz of Ventura, Calif., and Norvella Hogan of Gardnerville, Nev.; and brother Talfred of Apache Junction, Ariz.
