  • Notes 
    • Captain, Roland "Rollie" W.

      I love the Lord because he hears and answers my prayers, because He bows down and listens I will pray as long as I have breath. Psalm 116: 1-2

      For anyone who enters God's rest also rests from their works, just as God did from His. Hebrews 4:10.

      Roland entered into that rest May 30, 2014. Roland was born to the late Julius and Mildred (Plamann) in Appleton on September, 8, 1931. He served two years in the Marines, and worked for St. Aubin construction before retiring with the Appleton Area School district in 1991. He built his home and two cabins. He loved his family and was a good provider. Rollie was a member of Appleton Alliance Church and belonged to the Grand Chute Post #8642, he recently went on the Old Glory Flight. Rollie enjoyed fishing and hunting.

      He leaves behind his wife of 56 years, Ruth, daughters; Cindy (John) Anderson and Julie Crowe, sons; Joe, Paul and Ken (special friend Jennifer Anderson) Captain, grandchildren; Jessica, Chelsie, Jasmine, Tony, Holly (Matt) Krueger, Amanda, Zach, Mason, Kole, Bailee, Parker, Taylor, Lilly, Andy and Brett and great grandchildren; Yasmin, Jojo, McKale and Essa. He is further survived by his brother, Gerald (Delores) Captain, sisters in law; Virginia Tucker and Arlene Ehlers, as well as many other relatives and friends.

      Roland was preceded in death by his son David Captain, his parents, mother in law, Lelah Ehlers, and brother in law Conrad Ehlers.

      A memorial service for Roland will be held at 3:00pm, on Monday, June 2, 2014 at Appleton Alliance Church, 2693 W Grand Chute Blvd, Grand Chute with the Rev. Dick Schaefer officiating. Friends and family may call at the church from 1:00pm until the time of service. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be given to Grand Chute Post 8642.

      When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.
