My thanks go out to whoever Posted the pics of Roland's family even though I did not know most of them. I have not seen him in decades; therefore, I lost track of him.. but nice to see he had a close and loving family, who no doubt will miss him.. . My blessings to all of them..Marlene (formerly of Orange... over 50 years in Houston)

So sorry for the loss of your Dad, We have fond memories of Roland during the times we were going to the Deer Lease and he and Scott were there. All the BBQ's, four wheel riding, and just hanging out was so much fun. He will be missed.Jordan, George & Gail Riffe
