Lucien G. Rolland, president of the Rolland Paper Co. (now Rolland Enterprises) from 1952 to 1994, has died at the age of 99. A talented businessman, he was part of the fourth generation of his family to grow the company. He helped the Rolland Paper Company transition into the modern era and was also the last president to bear the Rolland family name.
"I keep a lasting memory of Lucien. He was a proud and passionate man," praises Philip Rundle, president of Rolland Enterprises. "He was especially happy with the return of the Rolland company name. His work … will continue to be remembered and associated with quality and innovation. Rest in peace Lucien, our thoughts go out to your family."
