Dear Brianne, I just read the obituary of Rolfe and remembered your love for him while we were in school and he had lymphoma.. He had a wonderful productive life..I would love to hear from you..Ruth Kumblad Smith. [email protected]

My heartfelt condolences to Viraj and family. I'm so sorry for your irreplaceable loss. I always enjoyed Rolfe's good humor and engaging personality since meeting him in India 31. It's certain that his benign influence will be felt for a very long time by all his friends, family, and students.

Rolfe is a great man with so much love and caring attitude to others. It was through him we could organize multicultural gathering of Bhutanese seniors and Heineberg Senior Center seniors. His legacy to accept and welcome New Americans is praiseworthy and always be remembered in my heart. I am missing my first good friend (in US) and an adviser.

Lakshmi and family, I am so very sorry for the loss of your father, husband, brother, and grandfather. My deepest condolences.

We are sorry to learn of the passing of Rolfe, but grateful for his service to our nation with the Peace Corps in India.

Our Condolences,
The National Peace Corps Association

i remember rolfe and his sister,brianne, from BHS in the mid 50's. i believe his father's last delivery was on december 28th 1963- twin girls between 11:30 and 11:45. I was there, also. i was happy to know that his life and family were very much a part of
Burlington when he returned.

I worked with Rolfe for all 27 years at Flynn. He always supported my crazy ideas for units in the Learning Center and always sat in on lessons so that he could do follow-up activities. Both Richard and I loved this easygoing, gentle person with his wonderful smile. He has certainly left a positive lasting impression on many lives and will be missed. Our condolences to Viraj, Shanta, Lakshmi, Ashok and all loved ones. Pat & Dick Hubbard

I worked with Rolf when I was the director at the Heineberg Senior Center and he was the board President. His gentle way and keen intelligence will be greatly missed by all. My heartfelt condolences to his dear family and friends.

I am sorry to hear about Rolfe's passing. I enjoyed working with him at Flynn. My thoughts are with his family at this time.
