My condolences to you and your family. Roland was a friend and fellow golfer. He knew what was important in life, his family. Always a thoughtful father and cherished friend. I pray that the Good Lord will bless you and your family during this tough time in your lives. It's hard to say goodbye, but one day we will be reunited again. God loves you unconditionally just like Roland did. God bless you.

First, our sincere condolences to the entire Rodriguez family for their loss. Roland was a good friend of my wife Marylou and became a good friend to me. Roland is responsible for my success in civil service. If not for him, I would have finished my career struggling in Georgia away from my family and for that I am extremely grateful to him. I will miss his laughter, his professionalism and kindness. Rollie......rest in peace my friend.

"Senior" was one of the kindest, classiest gentlemen I've ever met. It was always a pleasure to be around him and have him in my group at our annual golf outing. He will be sorely missed. My heart goes out to "Junior" and all of the Rodriguez family. Rest in Peace, my friend.

A true gentleman in every sense.
It was a privilidge to spend time with Roland at our golf outings.
We will miss his consistent good humor.
A fine golfer who was quietly, but seriously, competitive and a gracious victor.
Loosing him too soon is painful to all.
But, he is playing heaven's equivalent to Pebble Beach even now.

Tia Gloria, Rollie, Christina Marie, Trini and the boys - Tio was a good man, a great father, and an even better grandfather. We'll all have lasting good memories of him. Prayers are with the entire Rodriguez family.

My deepest condolences to your family. I have very fond memories of Mr. Rodriguez having grown up with his son. What I remember most is how funny he was, how much he loved his family and what a good example he was as a man, husband, father and grandfather. I know how much he will be missed. Prayers for your family.

My sympathy to the whole Rodriguez family, We will all miss him. His smile, his dry wit and the verbal joustings over golf and life will be missed. He will be hitting it right down the middle of the fairway in Heaven. Dr. H G Schonenberg

Tia Gloria and the entire Rodriguez Family,
Tio Roland was an engaging, warm, happy, and entertaining man. I remember many nights at your house where he would have me near tears (and sometimes in tears) from laughing. He will be sorely missed, but his memory and spirit will surely live on as long as we celebrate him in our memories.
He will join our other beloved family members in a better place. I wish you all the best, and please let me know if I can be of help.

Our Tio Roland is gone and we will miss him very much. He was a loving husband and father to his family. He always expressed his love for his son Roland Jr. and daughter Christina Marie. He lovingly called them Mijo and Mija. I can especially say that he loved being a grandfather to David and Daniel and enjoyed spending time with them. His affection and commitment to his wife Tia Gloria was beyond words; he always wanted to make sure she was taken care of. We will miss him but he will be always in our hearts.
Henry Lopez, Jr. and family.
