We will surely miss Roland's great smile and wonderful sense of humor. He will always be in our hearts.

Roland and I tried to be the 1st to see each other, kinda would point at each other. Dale had great fun with Freeman and Roland when the three of them were in wheelchairs at Masonic Temple when our church hosted the convention. Roland will be missed!

I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm more sorry that I will not be able to be present at the service. Where might I be able to send donations or cards to?

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Blanche. I have no words adequate to express the many emotions I feel or to convey my sympathy to you and your family. God's Peace to you, Donna

Blanche and family, prayers and blessing sent your way. Roland was a lovely man and a lucky one too, being blessed as he was with such a loving family. May he rest in peace and rise in glory!
