Don,

My sympathies to you for the loss of your father. Roland was, and continues to be, among my most favorite memories of my years with C-TSC and Hill Brothers. He was the epitome of 'class' in everything he did and said, and I always had great respect for his knowledge and integrity.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

I am sad to hear about Roland. The memory I have of him in our family was anytime there had been a death in the Newman Family Roland was always the first to be there. He was such a Gentleman in his quiet way but that sense of humor would appear. I believe we were second cousins as my Father was W. T. Newman. Uncle Guy and my PaPa Earle were brothers. May he now rest in peace after leaving such lovely memories on earth.
