Roland was truly a great brother and I will never forget him. I remember when his sister Betty, my wife was sick, he would meet me down home every weekend and be there to support his sister and myself. We would barbecue,laugh, talk and occasionally shed a few tears. He use to tell me that I was not his brother in law but his actions truly proved that it was just the opposite. He was a giving individual and believed in family. I will miss him.
