Rollie was a lifelong Joliet resident. He attended Joliet Township High School and went on to Lewis College and earned his bachelor's degree in business administration. Rollie worked at Argonne National Laboratory for more than 30 years. He was a very clever, bright, and thoughtful man in his own way. Rollie loved all animals and made sure he fed the ones that visited him in his yard. He loved to grow his own catnip and bring it to his son's cat. Rollie will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
The family would like to send a special thank you to the staff at Senior Star Memory Care for all their love and support.
