Roland R. Joyal Sr.

I remember going over to the house in Springfield, at the time I may have not liked it, but I have so many great memories with him and now that I look back and think about it.He brought so much to this family and will be missed.

Mr. Joyal had a huge impact on my life when I was a student at Tech High.

I met Roland at my place of work. He was a kind man and it was always a pleasure to interact with him and his family. Still missing our fun hangouts on the patio and having him sit next to me as I play the piano.

Our sincere condolences for everyone from the Smiths, Kristie, Jen, JoAnn and Myself. Your dad had me at Tech and then was at Central without daughters! During all the soccer seasons and beyond he was a good friend!

Sorry for your loss

Our sympathies to all the Joyal, Brunton and extended families. A good man and a fine example to all. He is now reunited with his loving wife, Kathy, and all who have gone before him. May God give you comfort as you celebrate Roland's wonderful life.

Roland was a great husband and father. He cared for his wife while she was ill and raised a bea beautiful family.

I was very sad to hear of the passing of Roland. He was wonderful man he and Kathy raised a great family. There will be so many great memories from family and friends.

My condolences to the friends and family of an amazing person. Mr. Joyal was an outstanding school administrator. Highly intelligent, extremely patient and kind. He positively impacted the lives of many students. Tech Class of 1980 John Barbieri
