    I am grateful for the life of Mr. Morreale. Thanks to his service and to the service of others in our armed forces, my family and I have been able to lead our lives in freedom and peace.

    Roland was a very special friend. I will miss all those interesting conversations we had. He was so well informed about so many things. Sincere condolences to all of
    the family.

    Roland was a very special father-in-law to me and Grandfather to our wonderful daughter Shayla. I know that Shayla’s advanced oracle nature came directly from his genes and he always commented on how far she will go life, so I’m sure he knew there was some of him in her. He was always so proud of Craig and always treated me like his daughter. I always felt part of the “familia” from day one. His large personality and opinions about everything from the weather to politics will be greatly missed at Christmas time and birthday celebrations. We miss you Roland.

    Jan, Craig, Linda, Shayla, and family…

    We were so very sorry to hear about Roland’s passing. Even from the few times we personally spent with him, it was evident that he was a man with a big heart who loved his family. Praying for comfort and peace for all of you as you grieve such a huge loss and look back on a life well lived.

    With love,
    Steve, Nancy, David and Philip

    Roland and I were friends about 46 years. To me he was one of the most intelligent person I ever met and had the privilage to work with. We had some great times together. Becky and I always enjoyed the great dinners with Jan & Roland, at their home and at some of the interesting resttaurants. It’s hard to find all 4 people that enjoy getting together like we did. We will miss him.
