He is survived by his children Julia and Jovan and their mother Shelley, his parents Omer and Beatrice, his sisters Rita and Sue (Bo), his brother Luce (Deanna) and numerous nieces and nephews and extended family. Rolly also leaves to mourn his close Slegg work family and many good friends.
Rolly was born in Gull Lake, Saskatchewan, raised in Port Alberni and spent his last 25 years in Victoria.
A memorial service will not be held at this time. A celebration of life will take place at a later date.
We are at peace knowing he passed knowing the same love that he shared. As Rolly was such a spiritual person, it gives us comfort to know that he is now in the arms of his angels.
"Life is but a blink of the eye so blink slowly" (Rolly Hamel)
