Robert Donald Rollings
Robert Donald Rollings, 65, of Canonsburg, passed away on Tuesday, December 21, 2021, surrounded by family.
Born January 16, 1956, in Pittsburgh, to the late Donald and Jean Ridley Rollings. A brother to Ruth Haskins, and Jan Disterhoft, who survive.
Robert is also survived by his beloved wife, Cindy Burger Rollings; and his children, Christopher Rollings, Rebecca Rollings; and daughter-in-law, Cicely Murray, to whom he was a loving father.
Robert was the son-in-law of Joseph Burger, Sr., and the late Georgetta Dohanich Burger. Robert was brother-in-law to Joseph Burger, Jr., late Raymond Burger, and Christopher Haskins.
Robert is also survived by his nieces and nephews, Michael and Danielle Turcovsky, John and Nick Haskins, and Raymie George Burger.
It should be expressed that Robert will be missed by dozens of his children’s close friends, to whom he also showed great love and paternalism.
“Bob” will be remembered as a gentle, caring soul. A pacifist. A collector of and expert on Rock, R&B, and Blues music. He loved nature, camping, fishing, and helping Cindy in their garden. He, of course, loved the Steelers and “dem Pirates.”
Robert had decided, with family, that there would be no service.
Family would ask that you remember “Bob” in your own way – or play a good tune for him.
”Let me drink from the waters, where the
mountain streams flood,
Let the smell of wildflowers flow free through my blood, Let me sleep in your meadows, with the green grassy leaves, Let me walk down your
highways, with my
brother in peace, Let me die in my footsteps,
before I go down under the ground, Go out in your country where the land meets the Sun, See the crater and the canyons and the
waterfalls run, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona or Idaho, Let every State in this Union seep down into your souls, And you’ll die in your footsteps, Before you go down under the ground”
– Bob Dylan
