Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Roland and I were next door neighbors for a time on Elm Street in Greenfield. He was a good neighbor and I am so sorry to hear of his passing at such an early age. My sympathies go out to his parents and especially to his two daughters, Christina and Rebecca.
We are very saddened to hear of Rollie’s passing, he was a wonderful man. Will never forget his kindness. Our thoughts are with you all.
Sad to hear of his passing all too soon. He was a positive presence in many lives, especially the extended Kingsley Family. We know he is in a better place now though. Thoughts and prayers out to his family.
So sorry to hear about his death kids shouldn’t have to lose their parents so soon and neither should his parents. Thinking about you Carol and Belin so so sorry.
