He was born to parents Eugene and Edna (Fitzroy) Scarinci, on July 24, 1944, in Philadelphia, PA. He celebrated 10 years of marriage to Emily (Robinson) Scarinci on September 11th.
After attending Overbrook High School, Roland proudly served his country as a member of the United States Marine Corps. He later attended St. Joseph’s University, and worked for many years in the telephone industry for both Bell of PA and AT&T.

Roland was known for his love of music having been an accomplished “doo-wop” singer in his teenage years. He resided in Holmes, PA for many years, and he was an active member of both the Kedron Youth Association and the Cub Scouts. He was an avid sports fan, and enjoyed watching games on his DVR with his beloved wife Emily. He was proud of his service in the USMC, and could always be found with a USMC baseball cap on his head.
