To my dear friend Roger Shaw and Rolyn's family. My sincere sympathies to all of you on the news of Rolyn's passing. I know that Roger truly loved Rolly and every member of his family. I met Rolyn during a visit to Portland with Roger many years ago. I found him to be a warm, friendly and sincere man. May he rest in peace. God bless him. So sorry, Rog (Breeze). We are thinking of you.

Uncle Rolly (Rolyn),
First of all this is a fantastic thing prepared for you, the online Memorial which you truly deserve!
Yes it is sad you passed so young Uncle and after loosing your Father, your dearest Mother my Grandma Max, your Brother my awesome Uncle Russ, and your Sister my precious Mother Rochelle who passed far too young as well at 52. I'm glad I at least saw you for 1 last time last year in 2013, even though was short and had absolute intentions on seeing you again with another visitation. You will be greatly remembered and missed!
Uncle Rolyn was a tremendous person. I also always remember him being so caring, giving, generous and an honest person. He would be such a helping hand often to family and friends in need. Often with his handy work. I remember him helping with people's house work, vehicles, electronics, devices and more. He often did so much help for various family members through the years and for free. Back in 1999 when I was 21, I was honored for you to serve as my Best Man at my wedding. That was a happy time and there are some great pictures showing of that and your big smile.
There cannot be enough said about you Uncle! Memories of you will always be treasured, and until we meet again on the other side, blessings to you in Paradise! <3
Love Craig

Uncle Rolly, I will miss you so very much. As I believe you are in a better place now, resting with so many from the family..I will always have you in my heart and thoughts. I have so many wonderful memories of you when I was a young girl. You were always there for my mother Rochelle, my grandma Max, my brother Craig and I and I want to thank you for that. You were a gentle, caring, loving man and I will always think of you as that. I wish I could've seen you more in recent years but I know we will meet again one day. Please tell Grandma Max, my mother Rochelle, Uncle Russ, Grandpa Roger and the rest of the family, I love and miss them so much. No matter what, I am always proud you were my family. I love you Uncle Rolyn. Rest in Peace.

Although we have never officially met I have always heard many wonderful things about you. I know you were a very kind and giving person, and was deeply saddened when I came to learn about your passing.

Dearest Brother,
It is so sad that you passed so young, after losing your Father, Mother, Brother Russell, and Sister Rochelle. I knew you throughout your entire life.
I want to share with those who knew you in different ways, that while not perfect (none of us are), you chose to live a different kind of life, that you were still one of the most generous people I ever met in my life. You literally gave people the shirt off your back, your last dollar, and your sheer toil to family and to help other people.
I will always miss your laugh and your efforts to make people's life a little brighter than they may have felt at times. Some would be surprised how religious you were, and how much you turned to your Bible along your path.
Please hold hands with our family until I arrive...peace.

To allude on what Uncle Roger and Cousin Alex said, yes Uncle Rolyn was truly intuitive and would fix things and help out so much! I remember as a kid growing up him helping me with my car whether electrical or mechanical, and various other things in life. He sure was handy with many of these things! He was always around thru my childhood quite a bit and was very funny at times too and then later on when I was 21, Rolyn served as my Best Man at my little wedding in Vancouver, WA :-) and with that said, I will have to track down my old photos of him and upload them here digitally when I can.

For those that knew Rolyn, and some who did not know him this way, he was truly a Renassaince Man, in that he could do practically any job he was given, and importantly Rolyn could fix just about anything...your car, house appliance, you name it. Thigns he had not formal training for. Lastly, he was math genius, and intuitive about some many things, as Alex alluded to, he could fix what was broken, for those that could not afford to hire someone and had nowhere else to turn. God Bless You Little Brother...

As a kid I remember always having so much fun when my uncle was around. He had such a light and fun spirit. I believe a lot of my practical and handy side came from what he taught me. There was always something to fix or "better". He was very intelligent in that way.
Thank you for making me a better person uncle Rolyn.
