My sincere thoughts and prayers go out to the Gale family and the many friends who will surely miss the incredibly kind heart, sparkling eyes, genuine laughter, enduring generosity, and so much more that characterizes the amazing and loving man that Rowland was. May God bless Rowland always. And may God bless the friends and family who loved him so much.
