Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and those who join me in mourning Judge Roll as well as the other poor souls victimized that AZ day.
Roll is survived by his wife, Maureen, three sons, and five grandchildren. Roll walked his two basset hounds around the neighborhood every morning, and seemed inseparable from his wife.
“When they were around each other,” Massee said, “They were both just sparkling. They were in the presence of their best friend.”
Roll was the kind of man who had the same secretary for 20 years, said hi to all his neighbors, and stopped to talk to them when he walked his two basset hounds in the mornings.
“He was just a neighbor,” said George Kriss, 70, adding that the last time he saw Roll a few weeks ago, “he had blue jeans on and just a very normal shirt and was hanging onto a couple of leashes.”
About a dozen coach buses brought judges who knew Roll over the years to the furneral.
Roll’s three sons were among the pallbearers, and family members and two federal judges gave readings.
His funeral comes a day after the youngest victim, Christina Taylor Green, was eulogized, also at the same church, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton.
The service ended with a rendition of “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling.”
End of article which I cobbled together from a few I found on the internet…..
All I can say is the entire thing is a damn shame. Just so sad and shocking.
More not understanding things like this later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
