Rolland "Putt Putt" Joseph Tremblay Iii

Rolland "Putt Putt" Joseph Tremblay III, of Burlington, WI, passed away on May 6th, 2024 at his place of residence.

Rolland was born in Lockport, NY on October 3rd, 1947 to the late Rolland J. Tremblay II and Margaret Pritchard. He was raised with his sister Yvonne and step sister Sue, and his brother, Michael. Rolland married the love of his life - the late, Kathleen Wright - who sadly passed away on September 10th, 2014. Rolland and Kathleen built an amazing life together, full of wonderful memories shared with friends and family. They cherished every second spent with their three children, Renee, Brett, and Julie and beloved grandchildren.

Rolland was passionate about restoring antique John Deere tractors, and enjoyed snowmobiling, horse-back riding, hot road cars, and had a great love for tootsie pops. Rolland's faith was an important part of his life and he spent much of his time as an active member of his church. His family meant everything to him, nothing could ever compare to the time he spent hanging out with his friends and family, especially the moments spent with his grandkids; Samuel, Olivia, Luke, Jaxson, Easton, and his great grandchild; River Jean - who all gave their grandpa Rolland the nickname, "Putt Putt".

Rolland is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Kathleen, his son, Brett, and his parents, Rolland II and Margaret. He is survived by his daughters; Renee and Julie, his sisters Yvonne and his step sister Sue, his brother; Michael, his grandchildren; Samuel, Olivia, Luke, Jaxson, and Easton, as well as his great grandchild, River Jean.
