Roland Frank Marsden – Aged 85
Died peacefully on 28th December 2019 following a brief stay in Woodlea Care Home, Doncaster.
Roly’s working life was dedicated to the newspaper industry as a lifelong Compositor for the Manchester Evening News. His other dedication in life was lost in March 2015 when he lost his wife Joan who he had been with since the age of 14.
Roland will be sadly missed by all the family and many friends.
“On my first day at the MEN in 1979 I was sent to work on the ludlow under the care of Roly. How lucky I was to be introduced to composing room life by such a lovely man.” – Mark Laverty
