R.I.P. - Alphonse Rollheiser

Mr. Rollheiser was the father of a friend that I went to school with all the say from elementary school to the end of high school.

He was always a gentle, quiet man whom I enjoyed talking to. I last spoke with him a few months ago. In his job as a transit operator, his son and I used to ride his bus , as children, for hours on end, learning the city and seeing the sights. I still have fond memories of this.

Rest in peace, Mr. Rollheiser, and thank you for your kindness. Go swiftly to God...
