This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Roland Prefontaine, 79 years old, born on February 25, 1937, and passed away on July 7, 2016. We will remember him forever.
Roland, you taught us well. The fences you helped us build are absolutely the best, and our first set of steers each grew up to over 900 pounds hanging weight. They were healthy and happy. Chickens are well (with the roof over their coop made from tin you gave us), and this year's hay is mowed and baled. Thanks for being a teacher, a mentor, and just like family to us. We miss you so much !!
Happy Birthday Roland. I was just talking about you the other day..... We are planning a new fence and I was wishing you were here to guide us once again. All our Love.......
Thinking of you. Wish we could take you out for a birthday dinner today. We REALLY miss you. All our love.
Roland was one of the most honorable and hard working men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. His passing leaves a hole in my heart and in the heart of the community he lived in for so long. It is a comfort that he was loved and respected by so many people. We shall be telling "Roland" stories for many years to come.

Roland and a buddy would often stop at the creek and catch a few fish when they walked home from school. They would always catch extra fish and walk to a nearby widow's home to give her some of the fish. If she was short on food that day, Roland and his buddy would give her all the fish they had caught, then go back to the creek to catch more.
"That's just what we did", Roland would say.
