There
are many people who cross my life and make
a difference in how I hold my worldview.
They are instrumental in creating living legacies
that become generational road maps for
guidance and wisdom. The most influential man
in my life was my dad, Karl Franz Rohland. Dad
has passed away, but his memory remains strong
in my heart.
Dad
was a husband, father, brother, friend,
and business owner. He wore many hats during
his life, but to me his role as my dad
became the most critical relationship that
I cherish. Karl Rohland, a German born immigrant
to Canada, taught his youngest son the
value of work and family. He was an example of
how to pursue purpose and meaning in life through
determination and discernment.
I tell this
story because the values that Kingsway Group
of Companies holds for business and vision are
the by-product of this wonderful man’s
legacy.
