As a child, I remember my parents and I often visiting Roland and his family. My parents felt a deep respect for Roland. I too, realized as I was growing up, that he was one of the kindest, most gentle man I've known. Roland was a perfect example of one who lived his life with honesty and integrity. Anyone whose life was touched by Roland was blessed.

Sending my thoughts and prayers to you and your Family Monica. I am sorry For your loss.
