Roland's best times in his life were the times he spent on Medina Lake at the family lake house at Pebble Beach, times waiting in the deer blind for that early morning or late afternoon big buck to show up, and traveling to the as many events and places that he and his wife Doris could fit into their schedule. Roland DeWinne was described by a friend as a "great, great man, and, more importantly, a really good guy." Roland never met a stranger and never had an enemy. He became what most called a best friend and was considered a brother by many.
