Dear Vernetta and Family, so sorry to hear of Rollie's passing. He was such a Blessing to so many. Will miss his smile and friendship. Only one other thing to say "Well Glory" Pete and Dorothy Smith

Wow, he has made the trip to be with his Lord and I bet his smile is bigger than ever. As we drove around the county as partners in "Senior Patrol" he was always full of fim and vigor about life but was full of pride and joy about going home to be with his Lord when the time arrived. I am sure he is telling all how to run heaven but in a good way. I just loved his willingness to help all and this world will miss him greatly. He was one of the best of the best. I am sad about losing him to this world but am happy because he is where he has always wanted to be helping the Lord making heaven the best it can be. God Bless!

just wanted to share the thought that Roland always treated me like a good friend and I always thought of him the same way. From the first day I met him I always enjoyed seeing and talking to him. Great guy who I will miss.
