In Loving Memory

Dad

He never looked for praises

He was never one to boast

He just went on quietly working

For the ones he loved the most.

His dreams were seldom spoken

His wants were very few

And most of the time his worries

Went unspoken too.

He was there… A firm foundation

Throught all our storms of life

A sturdy hand to hold on to

In times of stress and strife.

A true friend we could turn to

When times were good or bad

One of our greatest blessings

The man that we called Dad.

Due to COVID-19 a private family visitation will take place followed by a private family committal service at the Clarenville Interdenominational Cemetery.

    I would like to express my deepest sympathy hearing of Rolands passing. Roland was a Blue Buoy sales rep when I got to know him. He was such a nice man and a pleasure to know . I was manager of the cafeteria in Woolworth and Woolco at the time. Take care and once again my deepest sympathy to you all.
