Roland Pierre Goldberg

Roland was born in Neptune, NJ on September 9, 1957. He was raised in West Long Branch, where he attended Frank Antonides School, and graduated from Shore Regional High School. He moved to Ocean Township where he met his beloved wife, Angela. They lived there for several years before settling in Farmingdale, NJ for the last 21 years. Roland was a hard and dedicated worker and took great pride in his life-long career in the building products industry, where he made many long term friendships, and was well regarded and respected for his great wealth of knowledge and expertise in the industry. He was currently working as a salesperson at Marvic Supply/SRS Distribution in Blackwood, NJ. Earlier in his career, he worked for many years as a Territory Manager at GAF, where he was top in sales and won many awards including the President’s Club award multiple times.

Roland was known for his easy-going, fun-loving, loyal, kind, and generous ways. He was funny, mischievous, and had an adventurous spirit. He adored his family and friends, cherished the outdoors, and was beloved by all who knew him. He loved spending as much time as he could with his children and was a very involved Dad. He was often seen at Kristi’s dance recitals and horse shows, and at Danny’s baseball games and camping with his Boy Scout troop when the kids were younger. He was always available to lend a hand with family and friends, and very giving of his time if anyone needed help. He also loved the NY Giants. His hobbies included camping, fishing, hunting, boating, golfing, snorkeling, and sitting around the bonfire. He was an all-around outdoorsman who enjoyed taking family trips, watching old movies and making his famous hot sauce.
