I wanted to wait to break this news until today as I wanted to make
sure everyone had a chance to hear it from someone close to them & I
know there were a few people that wanted to break the news to someone
before they just found out by word of mouth or anything…
For those who don't already know, early yesterday morning
Roland "Rollin' Hard" Montgomery passed away after a 3 year battle
with cancer & I'm sure he fought it until he no longer could. For
those who did not know him, he was a great guy & was willing to help
out anyone he could along the way. I'm sure there is so much more
that could be said & I'm sure everyone has there own story to tell of
how they remember him. Please be sure to go by his myspace profile &
leave a comment of condolence
(www.myspace.com/foodstampchamprollinhard). He will be greatly missed…
"In my heart is where I'll keep you friend, until I see you on the
other side…"
