Roland was a quiet, private fellow who enjoyed marching to the beat of his own drum. Quiet and reserved, he absolutely loved to read, especially books on history and philosophy. He had received a Master's Degree at Purdue University where he had planned to teach History until his health became an issue. He also enjoyed cats and kept several at his home as they brought him joy and companionship.

Memorial donations may be given to the Humane Society of Elkhart County. Friends are encouraged to log on to Roland's obit page on the funeral home's website at www.billingsfuneralhome.com to leave comments and memories that would be welcomed by the family.
