Mr Mann was roommate of my grandfathers at rehab in Anderson. He was fun to talk with and loved talking about his children and his vintage car. Prayers go out to his family

I will always remember Roland as my brother-in-law, but more than that..... he gave so much of himself to his community, no matter where he lived, that people remember him as a selfless great man. He always had time to stop, talk and listen, and left you with a sense of his wit and wisdom. If I lived closer, I would most certainly be at his memorial service today in Redlands, California, with his children, with whom his legacy lives on. Love you Kathy and Kenny. xo Aunt Sara

If he was as wonderful as his daughter, Kathy, then he was a grand man.

I only had the pleasure of meeting Roland a few times, but the love he had for his son inspired me. He will be remembered. I am truly sorry for his family's loss. God Bless you all.
