I want to say goodbye to a man who brought so much laughter, love, and light into our lives. My Uncle Tony had a rare gift—the ability to make anyone smile, no matter the situation. He was funny without trying, down to earth without effort, and young at heart in a way that made you forget the years.
He had a way of turning the simplest moments into the best memories—whether it was cracking jokes, sharing stories, or just being there when you needed him. He never took life too seriously, and maybe that was his secret—he lived with joy, with kindness, and with a heart wide open.
Rest easy, Uncle Tony. You will always be loved, always be missed, and always be remembered.
Heartfelt prayers and condolences to the Rolley family. We will treasure the many fond memories shared down through the years.

Always with a laugh and a lil bit of mischief in ur eyes, u were always smiling. A great cook (although every dish in the house was dirty when u finished) great friend and always proud of ur family, especially ur girls.
