Rodger Florom of Conroe, Texas died peacefully on Saturday, April
29, 2023 at the Methodist Hospital in The Woodlands, Tex., with
family at his side. He was age 78.
He was born in Holdrege, Neb., on Sept 18, 1944, to Delbert and
Lillie (Johnson) Florom. He was one of nine children. He grew up
in Holdrege where he met his wife, Sharon (Walander) Florom. They
were married on July 3, 1964, and their first daughter was born
the next year.
He moved his family to Lincoln soon after, where his second
daughter was born. He worked for the Nebraska Department of Roads
from age 18 until retiring at age 70, with a few years in between
trying new jobs.
During his years in Lincoln, he was known for his favorite sport
of bowling. He often bowled three, sometimes four nights a week
and made many friends who bowled with him. At one time,
Mr. Florom was considered Lincoln’s best bowler. He recorded a
score of 300, which is a perfect bowling score. He served as City
Secretary for the Bowling Association for several years and even
owned a bowling alley for a short time.
He is preceded in death by his parents; his brothers Raymond
Florom, Dean Florom, and Ronald Florom; and sisters Sarah Vannice,
