Rolando was a workaholic – never taking a vacation and always keeping busy. He worked many years as a truck driver, and after retirement he kept busy helping at a local soup kitchen in Waterbury for 15 years. In which he was well known for helping out others in need. Any free time was spent perfecting his meticulous lawn, tending to the plants, shrubs, flowers and his homemade koi pond. While on the water he loved fishing and boating, and on land; riding around on his Harley Davidson motorcycle and playing pool. He was an avid pool player.
