Greg Anthony Rollin, 66, a resident of the Hillsboro community passed away on September 30, 2025, at his home. Greg was born in Portland, OR to John and Fern (Bartrop) Rollin on June 13, 1959. He was raised in Portland and graduated from Lincoln High School with the class of 1977.

Immediately after high school, Greg began working in the automotive parts industry. In 1988, he founded his company Supercars Unlimited, an Oldsmobile Cutlass and 4-4-2 mail-order car parts business, which he operated until his retirement in 2023. Greg had a reputation for high standards and ethics in business. He was a thoughtful and caring person who freely shared his expertise and advice with his customers.

Greg's lifelong passion for drag racing his 1967 Olds 4-4-2, at Portland International Raceway, earned him many trophies and plaques in the Super Pro ET Bracket. It also led him to publish his book, "4-4-2 By the Numbers," which was considered to be the authority on that subject, and was reviewed in a national magazine. Greg was a founding member of the Oldsmobile 4-4-2 Club of Oregon. The National 4-4-2 Owners Club once featured one of Greg's cars on their national advertising poster. He also had an appreciation for cars such as American Muscle Cars, and Italian and British design.

Greg was an animal lover and had a special place in his heart for cats. He enjoyed gardening and was an avid nature photographer capturing numerous birds, flowers, and plants. He also enjoyed photographing various types of car races sometimes using the panning photography technique.

Greg is preceded in death by his father John. He is survived by his mother Fern; siblings, Denise of Seattle, Steve (Debbie Smith Wagar) of Portland; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He will be greatly missed by all.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations may be made in Greg's name to Friends of PIR (FriendsofPIR.com) and Cat Adoption Team (Catadoptionteam.org). Plans for a memorial will be posted in the near future.
