The very best years of my life were spent working at Rolly’s Big M. Some of the greatest memories I hold deep and share today. Volunteering to work for free during the ‘91 Ice Storm. His legendary “Rollyisms” “It wasn’t a truck it was a human.” Or “Sell it sell it!!” “Rolly Jr telephone; Long distance”. Or “Laurie, are you by the coffee with a cigarette?” —over the microphone LEGENDARY. Rolly put me in charge of being Frozen Food Manager at the age of 17! My job at Rolly’s Big M was the very best job I ever had which still holds true today. I didn’t know about Dave’s passing. Scott Hermance, and the GREAT Al Warden are reunited in the Great Big M in the sky! Great memories with all of them!!. My sincere condolences to the family. Rolly was a great man who invested not only on hard work but his employees. He played a huge role in who I am today.

A Parable of Immortality

I am standing upon the seashore.

A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze

and starts for the blue ocean.

She is an object of beauty and strength,

and I stand and watch until at last she hangs

like a speck of white cloud

just where the sea and sky come down to mingle with each other.

Then someone at my side says,

“There she goes!”

Gone where?

Gone from my sight . . . that is all.

She is just as large in mast and hull and spar

as she was when she left my side

and just as able to bear her load of living freight

to the place of destination.

Her diminished size is in me, not in her.

And just at the moment

when someone at my side says,

“There she goes!”

there are other eyes watching her coming . . .

and other voices ready to take up the glad shout . . .

“Here she comes!”

With Love and deepest sympathies,

Dan, Kellee, Ashleigh and Joe Sadler
