Betty, Our most sincere condolences to you, and yours and Roland's families. He will be remembered for his infectious laugh and positive outlook. We will miss summer beers on the front porch - and Roland's Navy stories. God bless.

My deepest sympathies to Roland´s wife and family. I had the please of working with Roland at EIS for many years and enjoyed talking with him and listening to some of the funniest jokes I´ve heard. His wonderful sense of humor and dedication to his faith snd family will remain with me forever. Rest in peace Roland.

Dearest Betty, Your Roland a.k.a. "Dino" was so loved by all who knew him. With his laughter, wit, and Baritone voice he was, to me, very like Dean Martin. The respect and devotion you had for each other for "64" years was an example of: " What Marriage Should Be". Wishing you peace, comfort, courage, and lots of love at this time of sorrow. My heart goes out to you at this difficult time.

Betty, We are so sorry for your loss. Roland was a wonderful person and seeing the two of you together with all the love you shared was truly heartwarming. I hope the memories of the beautiful life the two of you shared will help you through these difficult times. You are in our thoughts at this very sad time. Billy and Kelly Deauseault

Betty, I am so sorry for your loss. Roland was such a wonderful man, I loved seeing the two of you together , always the best dressed couple at Mass, and two of the nicest people. May he rest in peace and may you find comfort in the many wonderful memories you have of your time together. Much love and prayers, Stella Curtin

Dear Betty, I am so sorry for the loss of Roland. I have many fond memories of being a Eucharistic Minister and waiting in the back of the church before Mass started. Both of you made me feel welcomed and we had some good laughs. Roland was such a tease about who would open the tabernacle...he would say it was me and I would say no, it's you. God Bless you.

Dear Betty, Roland was quite an awesome man and seeing together always brought a smile. He will be missed at church and Sunday morning breakfast, and seeing you both on the porch. The world could use more Roland Riel's who was a 'special man'. Rest in Peace Roland, please watch over Betty and all of your friends.
