Rolly was known throughout the community as a loving friend. Everyone who knew Rolly knew him to be a humours person who always had a smile on his face. He was caring and always gave a helping hand to those who needed it… no matter how big or trivial. He enjoyed being on the land, hunting, fishing and camping. His favorite place was at his camp on the water, enjoying the sunrise and the smell of the campfire. We know where Rolly is now, he is looking down on his family, friend’s and loved ones.
The family wishes to thank the First Responders for being there as soon as they could. They also want to thank members of the Thessalon First Nation community for their ongoing support.
