With deepest sympathy to Mark, Patti and extended family. One of the nicest, easy going and all around great guys to have lived. Many memories playing Yahtzee and pinochle at the cabin.

With deepest sympathy to the Overholt family. Although I only had a brief time with Roland, he was a kind and caring person. He always made me feel like family. I remember him as a happy and cheerful person. Rest in peace good man.
