Relation: My friends father
My memories of Roland go back to the early 1970’s, as Omer and I were the best of friends. Roland always was super friendly and had a smile on his face. It seemed to me he always was working? I spoke to Roland a year ago, and he seemed, as he always, a kind and good man. My wife Kath send our condolences out to Jean, Omer, Jerry, Rene, and Roxanne. You all are blessed and richer for having such a great person like your husband, father in your life. Your all blessed.

From the Lawrence and Radies Families to Jean, Rene and Family.
We are so sorry to hear of Rollie’s passing. We spent a lot of time at the Elk Point Burger Bar, Rollie greeted all with a big smile,. He had a way of making you feel welcome like you just stepped into his home. He made the best tomato macaroni soup I ever had. Our deepest sympathy to you all. Whatever comforts your soul, soothes your spirit and bring you peace, that is what you are wished at this sad time.
