Dad moved forward on his own terms and with all the dignity that he displayed throughout his life. Dad is survived by his loving wife of 67 years, Olive; his daughters Pat (Leonard) Mazur, Lynn (Garnet) Burton, Donna (Robert) Irving; his son Dean (Penny) Grove. He greatly loved and thought the world of his ten grandchildren Jayson and Chris Mazur, Teresa (Jodie) Doig, Dennis (Korrin) Burton, Lisa, Sean, Ryan (Kim) Irving, Cole, Dylan and Mackenzie Grove and his three great grandchildren, Gabriel Doig, Ivy Richards Otto and Lily Burton; his brothers Garnet and Doug (Joan) Grove and sisters Elsie Grove, Betty (Jimmy) Morris and sister in law Sandra (Bill). Dad was predeceased by his parents Arthur and Mildred Grove; brothers Robert and Hugh and sister Dorothy Smith; sister-in-law Gladys Grove; brother-in-law Percy Smith, and grandchildren Michael Irving and Olivia Doig. Rolly served in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War Two as a tail gunner on the Lancaster bombers. Following the war he returned home and throughout his life held several careers as a farmer, mechanic, elementary school custodian, bus driver, and maintenance man at the MacGregor Health Centre. Dad was a talented man with an active mind, who read extensively and was very adept as a cook, a mechanic, an electrician, and a woodworker. Rolly was never one to sit idle and loved to take on new challenges. He dabbled with computers, the keyboard and the accordion. When he broke his leg, he knit to pass the time and family members were the recipients of many toques, mittens and sweaters. With the help of family members, he built the family home on Menzies St. that he and mom lived in together for 38 years. Rolly was a lifelong hockey fan that began to play the game in Katrime with his brothers on the "Grover Greyhounds" and later supported his son for many years as a hockey parent. Rolly also grew to love the game of golf upon his retirement from work and spent many hours working on his game at the MacGregor Golf Course. Dad and Mom loved to travel to visit family. Rolly retro-fitted his original school bus as a camper before decided that the camper was too small and upgraded to a larger model. Dad would wheel on down the road with his co-pilot navigating beside him. Dad and Mom especially enjoyed trips to Monterey California, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Flin Flon and Vancouver. Rolly was a quiet man who enjoyed a good laugh. Dad was our gentle giant who rarely got angry, but whom we always knew we could count on for support. He was the rock that anchored our family. Friends and family were very important to Dad and he was very loyal to both groups. The welcome mat was always out, and if you came at mealtime a place was found at the table. Mom and Dad were married for 67 years and their loving relationship served as a model for all of their children. Clark's Funeral Home
