Dear Margot and Family: Thinking of the entire Sauer family at this time and sending our condolences. As I think about Roland, I recall his great sense of humour and laugh and of course his love of soccer and willingness to play keeper whenever he was needed. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the celebration of life but will be thinking of you.

Dear Opa, Dear Dad, Dear Rolf, Dear Pops, Dear Roland
Holy smokes Opa….
Thanks for the memories……
You made stuff from scrap like that old freezer shed
You had great ideas stored up in your head.
You loved to play games and you stretched rules a lot
You just pleaded innocence if you got caught.
Margot would say … now that isn’t nice.
When you went out of turn without thinking twice
You cross country skied with the kids in the yard
You made it look easy… “This isn’t hard!”
You taught people lessons…and shared your advice
But that stinging nettle sure wasn’t nice.
You loved soccer a lot and watched games galore
When one game was done you watched it some more.
You liked the outdoors….you gardened for fun
You made 73 become number one!!
You fixed up the house…you added so much
You worked really hard and added your touch.
You loved Tennessee….you met a deer
It ran away…startled with fear.
You spoke of the goose step and you puffed out your chest
Raising your children…now that was the best.
You liked to charm people….you would just speak your mind
Most people laughed…..they were usually quite kind.
You were married on New Years… you were proud as could be
You loved Oma dearly…we could all see
So go rest in peace…you will be missed as you know…
Holy smokes Opa….
Thanks for the memories……
We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
