We have so many fun, adventurous memories with Rollie…Cassie always got a mento from him the first thing upon his arrival to Dead Shot Bay😍. He loved the country music festival, hiking up the bluff, hiking to long bridge, sitting at the campfire and sharing stories, canoeing, swimming and soaking up the Sun….also going to church with us! He will be missed so much
