I have fond memories of Rollie serving behind the parts department for my dad at BRCarver Chevrolet Buick dealership. I am sorry I am out of town but please know the family will be in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you during this time.
So saddened to hear of Rollie’s passing. Such a great man and devoted Christian…always had kind words to say. Will be greatly missed! Love and prayers for the family.
I worked one of my first jobs at Grants in 1973 when I was in high school. Mr. Carey was such a nice guy, I will always remember how he was so friendly. Since then he would always remember me and speak when we met. He made an good impression on me as a young man.
Such sad news to hear of Rollie’s passing. Rollie and Becky have always had a very special place in my heart. They helped raise and guide us Glenview kids. He was the epitome of what a father and husband should be. It is such a sad day here on earth but heaven is surely rejoicing for there is not a more deserving person to walk through those heavenly gates than Rollie. Sending love and prayers to Becky and The Hensley family ??
Rollie and I have been friends for a long time he was a good person. always enjoyed talking to him. I know he will be missed. Harold Taylor
Bexky…..we were so sorry to hear of Rollie’s passing. We weren’t going to be able to make it to the funeral home but we wanted you to know that you and your family are in our thoughts and orayers.
Heaven gained a wonderful new angel, Sunday. He will be missed dearly, but not forgotten.
Rollie and Becky were a positive presence and inspiration at Glenview for myself and my husband Bob. The world has lost a kind man but heaven gains an angel.
Becky and Family, So sorry to hear of Rollie’s passing.You all were such good friends to Aunt Mary and Uncle Ken and they loved you dearly. There will be a glad reunion in heaven , Rollie was such a good Christian and it showed in everything he did. May your faith and good memories help carry you through this difficult time.
Wish I could be there today. Love you all very much!
Rollie was one of the nicest people I have ever met.
I never saw him in a bad mood.
I also never saw him when he wasn’t the sharpest dressed person around.
Rollie loves the Lord, you could tell just by spending time with him.
Big hug Becky!!
Love Eli
