I toast you every New Year's Day, since we spent so many together! Miss you friend!Gerry Reeve
I ran, sweat and worked with this man far too many hours and years not to leave a comment here. I think I first met Roland on our 8th grade football team where he was beating up on everyone in an opponents uniform. Through the next 5 years he beat up on me plenty of times in practice. I was always glad he was on my side of the ball when the game was on. He had a work ethic that I still try to emulate. I can't remember how I learned of his passing many years ago but each time I think of him I still find myself saddened that a life so full of promise was cut so short.God bless you Roland, and thanks.

I knew Roland even in grade school. I remember how strong he was. He did lots of chin-ups on the playground while the rest of us struggled to do any. It is sad to learn that he is no longer with us.
