He and Beverly were also avid travelers and spoke fondly of their trips to Florida, Alaska, and everywhere in between. Roland loved spending time with his family and all of their pets. Most importantly, he was a proud grandfather and loved being a part of all of his grandsons' sporting events and milestones in life.
