So sad about Rollie. I can't remember a time when there wasn't a smile on his face all through high school. Ran into him at a reunion and it was like no time had passed. Great guy, great smile.

Very sad. Rollie was our next door neighbor growing up. We had so much fun, riding bikes together (he with his dog Rusty in the front basket), the whole neighborhood playing hide and seek on summer nights, going to the creek to catch crayfish, sliding on the ice in the winter. Haven't seen Rollie for so many years, nor thought about those times. Turns out he can still make me smile. I am grateful, my friend.
