March 2, 2021 at 3:36 pmThere are no words that could express the sadness we feel about this sudden loss. Roland was a big part of many years of loving family memories. His stoic exterior hid a lively and fun sense of humor that will forever be sorely missed by all who knew and loved Roland. We will remember you with each chime of the mantle clock you restored for us. We love you Roland.

I will always be grateful for all the years you made my sister happy and cared for her. And I thank you for giving me two wonderful nephews I am so proud of. You and Vivian did a great job raising them. You were a good husband, father, and brother-in-law. I will miss your presence and friendship. Rest in Peace.
