Roland passed away on November 2, 2016, a very special time; the day the Chicago Cubs won the World Series Championship. He will be forever remembered now on this day. Serious injuries were incurred from a fall during his daily walk on September 23, 2016.
An avid sports enthusiast, of all sports, especially of all Chicago teams. Hopefully he had a great front row seat with the Heavenly Kingdom fanatics.
He is survived by his wife Marilyn (Kenealy), son Donald and Michelle Pellegrini, daughter Patricia (Pellegrini) and Richard Dixon; grandchildren, Zachary Pellegrini, Nicole Pellegrini, Brian and Sheila Dixon (with his first great grandchild on the way), Sara (Dixon), and Tim Murray; sister, Yvonne (Pellegrini) Nannini.
Cremation and services have taken place with inurnment at Queen of Heaven Mausoleum in Hillside, IL.
