ROLAND LAURENCE After a lengthy illness, Roland Laurence, beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather, passed away on Thursday, April 24, 2008 at the St. Boniface Hospital. Roland was born on June 24, 1921 in St. Boniface, MB. He made a lot of friends in his life including his colleagues at the St. Boniface School Division where he retired 23 years ago. Mom and Dad had a place at the Oasis Campground for many years, where they enjoyed their retirement. Roland's favorite past time was to meet his buddies at the Royal Canadian Legion on Marion Street and play cribbage. He could always make someone laugh as he had quite the sense of humor. He leaves to grieve his children, Rollie (Lorraine), Robert, Roger and Marlene (Paul), ten grandchildren and many great-grandchildren. Roland was predeceased by his parents, Alfred and Matilda, brother Armand and his beautiful wife Roma.
