Upon graduation from Oconto High School in May of 1945, Roland enlisted in the United States Naval Reserves for training at the Great Lakes Naval Station in Chicago, IL. Upon graduation from boot camp, he was assigned to San Bruno, CA to train as assault troops in Japan during WWII. When the war ended, he arrived in September 1945 in Tokyo Bay as part of the American Occupation Forces. After spending 13 months in Japan he was honorably discharged back to San Bruno, CA. He tried to enlist into the regular Navy, but was refused as the war was over and the Navy was downsizing. Returning home to Oconto, he registered into pre-Engineering school at St. Norbert's College in DePere, WI for the September 1946 year. He transferred to Milwaukee School of Engineering in Milwaukee, WI in 1947 to continue Engineering studies and in 1949 received an Electronics Technician degree. In September 1950 he joined General Electric X-Ray Department, which later became the General Electric Medical Systems. He remained there as an Engineering Specialist until his retirement in June of 1987.
Roland is survived by two sons, Gregory and Gary (Brenda), and two daughters, Therese and Laura (Ryan) Johannsen, and preceded in death by a daughter, Kathryn. He is survived by one step-daughter Sandy (Bob) Deichelbor, three step-sons Frank (Kathy), Mike (Renee), and Tim (Betty) Votava and preceded in death by step-son Dan (Vivian) Votava. He is further survived by seven grandchildren: Brian (Jami), Scott (Gena) and Brennan De Rosier, and Samantha, Aaron, Gunnar, and Katlynn Johannsen.
