Hello my friend, I have not been out fishing since the last time we went. I know I will miss our good times chasing the tuna but I also know that you would want me to continue on. I will try to bring myself to go this year but know you will be in my thoughts and heart. And yes, I will be bringing some hard boiled eggs to enjoy.

Rollie,
My family and I were so saddened to hear that you passed away. I always considered you as my big brother. Thanks for all your assistance and mentorship when we were onboard the Carl Vinson and even later on in my navy career. You will be sorely missed. Condolence to the Legaspi family and may he rest in peace with our Almighty. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Gil Peregrino and family

Rollie,
I was deeply saddened to hear about your passing. I was honored to have the privilege of working with you and will be forever grateful for the mentoring sessions and guidance you so freely provided. Our Navy, our country and those who knew you are better for it. You're a true American hero, true friend and most importantly, a true family man. God Bless You my Friend. Rest in Peace.

Rollie, You have been a friend for over 30 years, especially in the past 15 years that we have shared an office and worked together on many projects. Because of your extensive knowledge and expertise in Naval aviation supply matters your advice was sought by countless people, including many senior officers. I will always remember the deep sea fishing trip we took and the fishing skills you showed to our group. Love of Family, God and Country guided your personal and professional actions. You will be greatly missed and never forgotten by those who knew you and shared in your friendship. I feel deeply honored to count myself as one of your many friends. May you rest in peace with fair winds and following seas.

Rollie, thanks for the memories my friend. Though we were never stationed or worked together it seems we knew each other well. I knew you have helped so many along the way....your kindness, your smile, your easy going personality is an inspiration. You will be missed, may you received the Lord's blessing and rest in peace.

Rollie was a hero, professional and dedicate loyal American but above all he was a friend. He cannot be replaced but he will be remembered for always being there to assist a shipmate. I will miss him but he is in a better place.
