Rollie met the love of his life Leona, soon after that they moved to Brandon, where Rollie worked as a mechanic in Shilo for numerous years. Then Rollie decided to return to farm life at Bede. Then in 1964 he bought his father-in-law’s farm in the Bernice District. In 1978 Rollie and Leona sold their farm and built a new house in Virden. Rollie was a jack- of-all-trades. Rollie’s pastimes were playing cards, horse racing, dancing, fishing and sports. He loved to tease with that twinkle in his eye and a smile for everyone. He belonged to the Catholic Church and Royal Canadian Legion. We would like to thank the Sherwood, West-Man Nursing Home, all the staff, doctors and nurses for the excellent care he received.
