Roland developed the love for photography and took pride in showcasing photos of his family members, family vacations and important events and celebrations at St. John's.
Roland gently passed away on Sunday, January 6th, 2019. He was a dedicated God fearing man, who if he had not been stricken ill, he would have been in church receiving the Lord's word.
