Sorry for your loss, Jeff. May he rest in peace!
Rollie was a good man and a hard worker. He was tough when he needed to be but equally loving. Rollie’s stories always made me laugh and he had a lot of them. I’m grateful to be able to say he was my uncle.
Rollie. I trust you are enjoying peace and paradise with our Lord Jesus Christ.
Aggie. Our hearts go out to you and your entire family.
So sorry for your loss! He was such a nice guy to talk with. He spent some time in the nursing home with my Dad, Loren a few years back and we got to catch up on life for a while.
He’ll be missed! Rest in peace!
Dear Greg, Jeff and Susie so sorry for your loss. Rollie was a great man and always had great smile.
