Not sure what to say?

Rollie was the best friend I ever had.
He showed me how to live.
Ride free my friend.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I am sad for all of us left behind. Uncle Rollie brought our family solace when we lost Ken. It makes me smile to think of the mischief they can create together again.

Another day with the flying A-Dust-

But at the end of each day, he always had his unique smile that said "I can handle it skipper"

I first met Rollie in 1987. I was one of those lives he helped to "save," and I will never forget him. He was always there when you needed him. A great dad and mom to the kids. Over the years, we had many conversations about staying on track. He always managed a smile, even when he was sick. That old Trans Am was a trademark of the man I knew - tough. My condolences to the family.

We are so sorry to hear of your dads passing, he was a very honest and upright guy.

Are prayers are with you and your family.

God Speed Rollie! You will be missed, but will be forever in our memories!
