Obituary Online notes for Rollin Lee CLAPP Jr.
Rollin Lee Clapp, Jr. was a self-taught man of many talents with a wonderful sense of humor and a spontaneous personality. He loved life and kept it interesting and fun. He was 92 years old when he died on August 11, 2017, at the North Carolina State Veterans' Home in Salisbury. A graveside service with military honors was held, Wednesday, August 16, at Lakeview Memorial Park in Greensboro, with Reverend Jack Glen Flintom officiating.
Rollin was one of nine children born in Guilford County to the late Rollin Lee and Lily Mae Ward Clapp Sr. He served in the US Navy during WWII aboard USS LST-10 and USS Franklin CV-13, stationed primarily in Naples and Sicily.
Rollin married Jewel Owen Clapp who preceded him in death in 1984. He possessed a grand sense of adventure and didn't hesitate to explore something new. Being the self-reliant man that he was he became quite competent in many fields. He taught himself to fly an airplane, build a house, play guitar and piano, paint, and farm. The latter was his favorite and first, he started raising pigs, and then moved on to cows and always had a crop growing. He also loved to hunt and fish. Rollin and Jewel loved to dance and he could hardly listen to music without wanting to dance. He had a strong faith in God and was raised in Buffalo Presbyterian Church.
Rollin is survived by his sister Nancy and her husband, Garland, of Greensboro; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
In addition to his parents, his siblings Harold, Rachel, Rebecca, Henrietta, Ada Marie and two infant siblings preceded Rollin in death. 470, Rollin Lee Clapp, Jr-
