Getting to know Roly gave us so much pleasure. We particularly enjoyed spending time with Roly and Enid and the steam plough at ploughing matched x

Roly was a good neighbour, a lovely man who always took time to chat over the fence and tell a few stories of his busy interesting life. We miss you Roly. Rest in Peace. Love Paul and Julie

Roly was a loyal and loving man and I'll always be grateful to him for his steadfastness and support to Mum. He had a wealth of stories and he loved to share his experiences.
