Rod Lever wrote a sympathy message

“My most sincere condolences to Rolfe's family. My own connection to Rolfe goes way back - in 1998 I was a graduate student at Carleton and he opened the door for an internship at EDC. It was literally life-changing - this was the place I wanted to work and it led to a long and unique career there that took me to Russia, Ukraine and beyond to cleantech and environmental industries. And a no-BS guy, echoing the comments of some others here. RIP, cancer is a cruel disease.”

Apogee & Heritage wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Gloria & family, Beth and I are so sorry for the loss of your husband Rolfe. We remember his great sense of humour and in particular his teasing of our daughterJasmine at Robert's cottage, with lolly pops that he pretended he was going to keep for himself. He will be well rembered. Beth Williams & Jacques Berthiaume”

Lynn Côté wrote a sympathy message

“Rolfe was a great executive at EDC. He was smart, funny, didn’t have time for BS and didn’t take himself seriously. He once tried to convince me that squirrel was the lobster of the game world…he had me for a few days and then next time he saw me he laughed so hard when he realized I still wasn’t sure. - Lynn Côté”
