Roland was a toolmaker by trade and worked for 25 years for Scovill Manufacturing Company in Connecticut followed by a 10-year career with Stimpson Company in Pompano Beach, Florida. He enjoyed playing golf and was also an avid bowler. He especially enjoyed spending time with his family, having come from a family of six brothers and six sisters and also, having his own family of three sons and two daughters, which meant that summer picnics, family get-togethers, and holiday celebrations, always promised to have many family members in attendance. He was a football fan of the Miami Dolphins, a baseball fan of the New York Yankees, and enjoyed watching golf most Sundays following many of the PGA's greatest players.

A Visitation will be held from 3pm to 7pm Wednesday, October 19, 2016 with a Wake Service at 6pm at Boynton Memorial Chapel. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated 11:30am Thursday, October 20, 2016 at St. Luke Catholic Church, Lake Worth followed by burial at South Florida National Cemetery, Lake Worth (LANE 3).
