I will always remember Rollie’s smile, laugh and speed (he never sat still) from when I worked for him at the Burger Bar many years ago. Always friendly and welcoming to everyone and made me feel like family. He was the first person who took me golfing and shared his love of the sport with me, I will treasure those memories made at the Elk Point Golf Course, flying around the course trying to keep up with Rollie! Sending hugs to Jean and family during this difficult time.

Mr. Gascons always had that warm smile whether we walked in or going drive thru for ice cream and will be missed. Rene has that same warm smile and he will carry on the tradition. Our sincere condolences to the Gascon family from Steven and holly and family.

I have such fond memories of working for Rollie at the Burger Bar in the early 1990s. Those early morning breakfast shifts were full of laughs as he entertained his guests over coffee, anticipated his next round of golf, or joked about Jean’s bingo addiction. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your family business and teaching me some valuable life lessons.
