The Bakersfield Californian 
Roy Rollins
7/23/1939 10/6/2004

Roy Rollins (Bernard Leroy) passed away Wednesday, October 6, 2004 after a 
long and painful battle with lung disease. Roy leaves behind his wife, Carolyn 
whose broken heart will never mend from his passing. Roy is also survived by 
his mother, Hazel; 6 siblings; his sister, Nancy; brother, Billy; sister, 
Mary; sister, Debbie; brother, Rob & sister Patty; as well as numerous nephews 
and nieces. He will be missed beyond words by his wifes family and from all 
his friends from the Mission Hospital Oxygen group and friends he made but 
never forgot in Bakersfield. 

Everyone who had a chance to really know Roy could not help but be touched by 
his special magic. His quick wit, keen mind and sharp observations kept you on 
your toes. His rough exterior belied his gentle manner and loving ways. He was 
a thoughtful, kind and loving husband and the dictionary does not hold enough 
words to describe his affection and caring.

Roy was a natural born sailor and liked to sail the Pacific, his ashes will be 
scattered in the blue Pacific he loved so much. He was an avid collector of 
all things nautical and his dream was to sail to Hawaii but life cut him short 
and he now sails on the clouds above us.

In deepest gratitude to Abdul and Fatima for allowing Roys wife to spend time 
at his bedside in his last weeks on earth. A very special thanks to the nurses 
and staff at the TCU at Mission Hospital as well as all the doctors from the 
Mission Internal Medical Group who made every effort to accommodate Roy and 
made his final moments serene.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Mission Hospital, Attn: Jim 
Barnett, 27700 Medical Center Road, Mission Viejo, CA 92691.
