Obituary

Gary Rollo, Little Chute, age 68, passed on to the loving arms of our Lord on May 8, 2018 surrounded by the people he loved after a difficult battle with cancer. Gary was born on October 15, 1949 at St. Elizabeth Hospital to the late Louis and Minnie Rollo.

Gary was known as a fun-loving individual who went out of his way to provide for others. Even during his final days, he desired to make sure others were comfortable and that everyone was provided for, and that his family was well taken care of at all times. Everybody who knew Gary has a story to tell of his generosity and kindness. He could be seen many times grilling for his customers and colleagues at Morley-Murphy Company, Langstadt's Electric, and Standard Electric Supply, from where he retired as an inside salesman. Gary also loved fishing and traveling, watching the Brewers and Packers, participating in bowling and softball leagues, and spending time with his family and friends. Gary and his late wife, Nancy, spent many years later in life taking annual vacations with family and friends to Mexico, and other destinations. He was also a member of the Little Chute Volunteer Fire Department for many years, and in the Army Reserves as a young adult. Gary and family were lifelong members of St. John Parish in Little Chute, WI.

Gary is survived by his children Cory Rollo, Katie (Jeff) Bishop, and Kelly Rollo, along with his step-grandchildren Bryce and Brooklyn Bishop. He is further survived by his four brothers and sisters: Margaret (Carl) Vosters , Mary (Lee) Hietpas, and Richard Rollo, each of Little Chute, WI, and Sr. Marguerite Rollo of the Sisters of St. Francis of the Holy Cross in Green Bay, WI. Gary is also survived by brothers- and sisters-in-law Rose (Leo) Rollo of Freedom, WI; Lynn Scanlan of Tucson, AZ; Neil (Margaret) Gloudemans of Fort Wayne, IN; Daniel (Linda) Gloudemans of Little Chute, WI; Mary Gloudemans M.D. of Tucson, AZ; and Michael (Denise) Gloudemans of Big Lake, MN, and numerous nieces, nephews and friends, whom he all considered family and loved dearly.

Gary is preceded in death by his loving wife of 47 years, Nancy (Gloudemans) Rollo, whom he married on July 10, 1970 and passed away on August 13, 2017 after a long battle with cancer. Gary is also preceded in death by his parents, Louis and Minnie Rollo; his father- and mother-in-law, Quintin and Dorothy Gloudemans: brother, Leo Rollo: and sister-in-law, Anna Mae Rollo.
