Not sure what to say?

Rolla and Pat were almost a second set of parents for me, without the drama that having known you your whole life and remembering all your foibles. They somehow looked after me without my being fully aware. As I grew older we became true friends. I still miss Pat, all these years later and know that the hole left by Rolla´s death will be very hard to fill.

Rolla Anderson was a great man who did more for Kalamazoo than almost anyobdy, along with his close friends and assocaites, George Acker and David Markin. Rolla will sorely be missed by those of us who were honored and privileged to now him. leed

Uncle Rolla was a very special person...and was very dear to our whole Davis Family. He made a difference with his life and everyone loved him. We (Davis Family) would get so excited with Uncle Rollas visits. Each time he would bring us car load of athletic gear. We will always remember those precious memories. We were fortunate to visit with Uncle Rolla last summer (2017) and shared special moments. He will always be in our hearts, remembered & loved. God bless him, and his family in this...

Rolla was all things to all people. He was always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone, or any cause, especially the National Tennis Tournament, at Stowe Stadium. I loved that man, and I mourn his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with that family.

Rolla was the ultimate people person. He always made me - and everyone else - work so hard at the Nationals just to make him happy. To hear his compliments was pure gold. He made me feel special, and yet he was the one who was so special. I feel so lucky to have known him. I will miss him so much! Thinking of his family and sending my sympathy to all.

Rolla Anderson was one of the first people I met when we moved from western Nebraska to Kalamazoo. He along with other members of the K-College athletic department, were instrumental in helping this young family to feel welcome and at home in the Kalamazoo community. Rolla's friendship, kindness and guidance will never be forgotten.

Thank you for pushing me twoards my nursing career and sharing lots of candies and cookies with me. Love you so much Rolla!!!
