Name: Markey-Dermody Funeral Home
Address: Hamilton, ON

I am very sorry for your loss.  I met him only once.  A very nice man and probably a wonderful grandfather.  I am a stranger and would like to share a small story.  I received a phone call from a man to sell encyclopedias.  I accepted his visit and later when my father discovered he was coming out he was very angry at me for allowing his visit since I couldn't afford it and my father wouldn't allow me to buy.  I was very sad when he left, he had a tear in his eye and I was sorry it had to go that way.  But that is how I know him, he had touched my heart that day.  He left a thesaurus, dictionary and quotations book as a complimentary gift.  His name is written in the front which is how I still know of him 15 years later and still remember him to this day.  In my thoughts I've always wished him well throughout the years, even though I barely knew him.  Every time I use that dictionary it reminds me of him.  I looked at the dictionary and today thought to look his name on the internet which sadly led me to here.  I am very sorry and I wish to extend my deepest condolences to the Fraser family.

My condolences to all the family on your loss.

This man was loved by everyone.  He shared his life and love unconditionally so that others may grow from his experience.  Humble, always waiting to WELCOME each individual with a handshake or hug.  I know I will miss him he held a very special place in my heart.  If there is a meeting in the sky, he is up there with many old friends, greeting others with handshakes and hugs.  God Bless the family through this very tough time.  Susan Wazny

"Take away the thought or feeling of being offended, and where is the offence?" Rollie said this to me almost daily as I rock 'n rolled through early days, his patience never dwindled. He spoke for me, Bible in hand, swearing to tell the truth and he said he believed, in our fellowship and program, and in me and my surrender to a new way of life. Rollie, God bless you, you helped so very many of us. My deepest condolences to the Fraser family. Rollie was our hero.
