ROLAND TENNYSON WILSON

ALSO KNOWN AS “CAPTAIN” OR “ROLY-POLY”

*06 September 1941—-† 04 March 2023

Navigating the seas of happiness through sharing lasting friendships;

Piloting all my being’s vessels within caring memories of beloveds;

Fastening moorings steadily alongside even distant ports in the afternow
