Rolly owned The Swing Away Danceland in Hagar from the 1950’s to the 1970’s. “Dancing Every Saturday Night”, where many gathered from Sudbury and as far as North Bay to dance the night away! Rolly was a real estate investor dealing mostly in the Sturgeon Falls area. He was a generous man, always willing to lend a hand to strangers and fellow friends and family. He loved music, especially a good Fiddle tune. The Holidays were always special to him, especially the famous New Years Day Party (Réveillon) at his parents’ house in Hagar. As per the family’s request, there will be no visitation or service. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations made directly to the Maison McCulloch Hospice would be greatly appreciated.
