A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS

You were so much loved, highly admired and deeply respected by all who knew you.

An example of patience, tolerance and accommodation, never a signs or word of anger or hostility shown or uttered at any time towards or against anyone.

A servant of God, Rotary and Golf - in that order.

A family man who selflessly took on challenges on behalf of family and friend.

A tough act to follow and shoes too big to fill.

We all love you and miss you dearly.

May you have a peaceful journey and eternal rest. You earned it and deserved it.

With all my love,

Your son,

Rohan

    Darling Roland Uncle, It was so distressing to not be at your service, only my medical problems kept me away. You know I would have been there, for you have always been so very special to me...it was in your home in Colombo where Pearlyn Aunty cooked my very first chicken curry and where I was treated with such kindness and consideration, which never waivered throughout our many years together..it was in your home where I was so completely surprised with a birthday party - and me in a sari for the first time - and throughout all the years, a phone call would come from you and Pearlyn Aunty singing Happy Birthday to me. You were a loving, generous man, and created so many happy memories for all who knew you...every dance party included a dance with you..you set an exceptional example simply through your natural, easy way, to all of us in the family. I will miss you terribly Roland Uncle and remember you with much love always. Thank you for all the memories you have left for us. Judy
