Not sure what to say?

I will miss Mr. Rollins, great teacher and good storyteller. And I will never forget him.

My sincere condolences to the entire Rollins family on your loss.If teaching is an art, Mr. Rollins ranks as one of the Masters--a Renoir, a Picasso, or a Monet. I am proud to say Mr. Rollins was my fifth grade just around the time of the opening of the "new" Memorial School.Such a profound inspiration, such an incredible role model--who ignited our learning.I became a fifth grade teacher in the late 1960s. No surprise that I modeled my teaching style after--Joseph Rollins!

Thank you...

He was may 5 grade teacher , I enjoy listen to his war stories, and I will miss him dearly. He was great guy and my condolences go out to his family.

Mrs. Rollins, I was so sad to hear of your husbands passing. About a year ago I stopped by your home to get a copy of his book. Your incredible story of love and how it has no boundaries will stay with me for a lifetime. SD

Mr. Rollins was an inspiring teacher, a patriotic American and a terrific role model for his students. I have many fond memories of my 5th grade class at Center School and I offer his family my most sincere condolences. He was a great teacher who taught us, especially me, much more than the written curriculum. Thank you and rest in peace.

Mr Rollins was one of the greatest teachers I had during my early education in Leicester. He always kept us students interested in the class material. He also intrigued us by ripping phone books in half and showing us his monkey brain:). I aspire to be a great educator like Mr. Rollins.

To the Rollins family, please accept my condolences on the passing of Joe. Our family would visit your home when we were young and I always remember what a treat that was. Kindness abounded!

God bless the Rollins family at this time of sorrow. Although Mr. Rollins was not my 5th grade teacher, he was there across the hall from Mr Eldridges's 5th grade many years ago. He was dedicated and loved by so many students.

Thank you for serving our country. May your family find comfort in their faith and may you Rest in Peace.
