Roland and Catherine relocated to Ormond Beach, Florida where Roland was a well loved communicant and volunteer of St. Brendan's parish and school, and a faithful member of the Knights of Columbus. His volunteer work at the church led him to begin using his skills assisting his friends, neighbors and his community with a variety of home repairs and projects.
