Dear son in law of Conrad predeceased and Blanche Généreux. Sadly missed by many nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts, cousins and friends. Rolly was born and raised in Blezard Valley. He married Carole in 1973 in Val Thérèse. Rolly enjoyed spending time with his friends at Tim Horton’s, quading with his pals, as well as ordering his favorite foods, pizza and hamburgers, especially at First Round. He had a passion for his “perfect” backyard. Rolly was proud of the community clean up he and Carole adopted on his street. He was also an avid Boston Bruins Fan. He worked many years at the land registry office and upon his retirement he enjoyed working at Lougheed’s and Jackson Barnard Funeral Homes since 1999. Rolly was well loved by all his co-workers who will miss him. His Roman Catholic faith was important to him and he was a devoted member of Ste-Marguerite-d’Youville church. His family was his priority and he was proud of his children and grandchildren. Rolly leaves a rich legacy of faith, love and devotion.
