Not sure what to say?

Roland was a regular customer of mine when I worked at Modesto´s Resturant. When the Casio opened Roland told me to go over an fill out an application. Because of him I got to work at the Longhouse Rest. Best move I ever mad and I owe it all to a very special man. I will always remember what a gentleman he was. My condolences to Karen and his family.

Deepest sympathy to Roland´s family for your loss. I spent a lot of time growing up with those Dunham St. kids! Personal condolences to Barbara, Kathie and Bill

I was on Preston´s Planning and Zoning Commission years ago and I always said to anyone who would listen if Roland Harris brought in a plan for consideration it was definitely done right the first time. He was a good man and my condolences to his family and the Mohegan Tribe.

Mr. Harris was a darn good egg, and a pleasure to work for. My condolences to the Harris Family

My brother, Brian, worked with Roland in surveying for many years and held him in high respect.

My condolences to Karen and family. I first met Roland, over 40 years ago, when I hired him to work for me as an Engineering Assistant. I recononized that he had an ability to take a design, understand it and to apply good common sense. He progressed to a lead designer and worked for me until he decided to start his own Land Surveying business which I encouraged. We remained friends and my wife and I enjoyed many social events with Roland and Karen at Mohegan Sun in the following years. ...

To my beloved brother we will always keep you in our hearts! Love you
