I am sorry to hear of Rowland's passing. He was my mother's half brother (my uncle by blood). I never had a chance to meet him in person, but always hoped that I would some day. From what I have heard he was a wonderful person who lived a good life. If we could all be so lucky. My heartfelt condolences to Heather and to my cousins.
All my best,
Anne McClard (Daughter of Megan Brown McClard)

Rowland and Heather in 2008
I'm so sorry to hear of Roland's passing. He was a truly great man, and he led a brave and beautiful existence across many realms of life. I will always remember the cheerful days I spent at his home in Columbus with his amazing wife Heather and the bottomless kindness they showed me as a rather distant relative. His and Heather's love for one another and for their children was palpable and left a deep impression upon my soull; I wished that I could be so lucky. My condolences to all...
