I have known a lot of people in my life, but none that I respect more than Roland.He has raised a beautiful family and influenced them to be honorable people and outstanding citizens. I just wish I had known him many years ago. The times we did have together were precious and will never be forgotten.

He lived an incredible life!  He was strong physically and mentally with a heart the size of Texas.  Generous, kind, eager to help, capable of fixing anything,  loyal and principled. Loved his wife with every cell in his body and stood beside her through life's curves. He was a loving father and grandfather, brother, brother in law and uncle. I will be forever grateful for the love and support he generously gave to my Mother from the time they were teenagers until her death. He was more brother than in-law to her! He loved his family, his dogs, his friends and his country. He was a real man and a true gentleman and I never knew anyone who could fill his shoes.  One of a kind! Gone but never forgotten.

From the time he married Ruby, I knew him as Roland.  One of the first acts i remember is him sawing down a bee tree at the Doss place.  Bee's flying everywhere.  Ruby and Roland were a part of our family as far back as my memory goes.  He was a "prince" of a guy.  Could not ask for better.  I know his girls will miss him and you have my sympathy for losing a great dad.

Joy and Jan, Sally and I are sorry for the loss of your cool Dad.  He was always willing to greet us (let us in), show interest in what was happening in our lives, and I will always remember his great smile!
Chuck and Sally Bettinger
