So sorry to hear this. He was alway so nice when we worked together at Williamson Bros. My condolences to his family and especially to Aubrey and Joe!
It is a pleasure and honor to call Roland a friend! He was a gentleman who treated everyone with respect. He always greeted you with a smile!

My prayers and condolences to the family
Blessings to Roland’s family. I worked with and for him at Williamsburg Travel and he was a very honest and good man. He will surely be missed by many people.
So sorry to hear of Roland’s passing. My deepest condolences and prayers for his family.
We are thinking of all of you with love.

I am saddened by this news. The Williamson family was, and still is, so well thought of in Kingstree and surrounding areas. My former husband, Ralph Holt, thought very highly of the entire family.
May Father God stay very close to all those who are grieving this loss.
Roland will be very missed! I met him years ago when I worked at the princess condo and we had a lot of laughs together, as well as insults to each other lol may his soul and souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace..
Erin, I so sorry to hear about your Father.🙏🏼
It will be hard to fit into words the sadness we feel at hearing the news of Roland’s passing. The best way to put is just to say ‘Roland was family’. He, and his family, has been a part of our lives since we met in 1982. Roland … old sport … you will be missed!
So sorry to hear this! My prayers for the family! Rip my friend you will be missed!
My heart and prayers go out to Roland’s family and was so sorry to hear of his passing. I regret I cannot be with you on Friday evening or Saturday. Roland and I shared 12 years of school together and now some 75 years of friendship. Simply said, he was a good man and friend to so many. Those who did not know him well missed a blessing in their lives that so many have had.
My thoughts and prayers are with Roland and his family. We were friends in high school and college. Lost contact with each other after that . He was always a kind and nice person. God be with the family.
