Robert Rollar Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 20, 2016.
Robert (Bob) William Rollar, 80, of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, died peacefully, surrounded by family, on January 19, 2016. With joy, we celebrate that he is now with his Lord in Heaven and reunited with his precious wife, Cindy (Sissy) McPhail Rollar of 35 years, his oldest son, Robert (Bobby) William Rollar, Jr. and his wife, Sheila. Everybody who knew him are going to miss his funny ways, his vivacious personality, his loud Jersey accent, his ability to move a million miles an hour (he forgot that he was 80) and as the friendliest man you have ever met. Bob shared his faith with everybody and everywhere (whether or not they wanted to hear it). He truly had a joy reaching out and caring for people. He will be missed tremendously by all that knew him. Bob served his country as a United States Marine from 1953-1961. His was honorably discharged with high honors. He also served in the Korean War. Bob had a successful business in sales throughout his life (he could sell anything to anybody!). He was an avid collector of autographed sports and celebrity memorabilia (he could get anyone to sign their autograph!). Survived by his children, Thomas Glen Rollar, Leigh Rollar Bethel, Gary Francis Rollar (Debi) and Richard (Rick) Daniel Rollar (Amy), his grandchildren, Robert (Bob) William Rollar III (Jess), James (Jimmy), Anthony, Tommy, Cameron (Amber), Collin, Callie, Chloe, Gary Francis Rollar II, Rachel, Heather, Zachery, Matthew, Faith, and his great-grandchildren, Zoe, Sydney and Piper. \
Services will take place at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church on Thursday, January 21, 2016 at 8:00 PM. Burial at South Florida Veterans Cemetery, Lake Worth, FL.

Bob was such a good friend. He would come to the store, work for 15 min. and joke and talk for 45. Always smiling with words of encouragement. His generousity knew no bounds. He was one of the nicest people we've had the pleasure to have in our lives.
