His family said he died from complications related to Parkinson’s disease. His wife, Roseann, died three months earlier.

“He loved working at the News,” said Rollo’s son, Anthony. “He was very proud to have worked there. Even though it was an hour and a half to get in there each way, he loved being there.”
He was born on June 25, 1946 in Queens and raised in Long Island’s Meadowmere Park. Rollo served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War from 1966 to 1968, as a photo-reconnaissance combat engineer.
