LEE ROLO

Lee Orlo Rolo, 79, died on April 11, 2001, at the Hood River Memorial Hospital after a long illness.
Mr. Rolo was born the youngest of eight children on May 4, 1921, near Lamed, Kansas, to Francis and Ann Lee (Stromer) Rolo. When he was around nine years old, the family moved to Washington, where his parents had homesteaded years earlier. They bought property near Klickitat, where Mr. Rolo lived the rest of his life. He graduated from Klickitat High School and enlisted in the Navy on Jan. 4, 1942. When doctors discovered the effects of the polio he had as a young child, he was given a medical discharge.
He worked for the J. Neils Lumber Company and St. Regis for 37 years and retired at the age of 57 due to poor health.
When he was still able, Mr. Rolo loved to fish, hunt and travel.
He is survived by his wife Victoria, whom he married on Nov. 22, 1963; daughter Paula (Babe) Murphy, Vancouver; stepsons Marvin Davis, Hood River, and Ed Davis, Lincoln City. Ore.; sister Catherine Speer, Santa Rosa, Calif.; two grandchildren, three great-grand-children and many nieces and nephews.
Funeral services for Mr. Rolo were held April 17, 2001, at 2 p.m. in Gardner Chapel in White Salmon, with Pastor Pat Milligan officiating. Interment was at White Salmon Cemetery.
