Harold Albert Rohloff, Rest in Peace

September 16th, 2009

Longtime ACCA Member and Friend, Harold Albert Rohloff, of Woodstock, Connecticut died on Wednesday, September 16, 2009 at the age of 67. Harold was the beloved husband of Margaret (Hogan) Rohloff.  In addition to his wife Margaret, Harold left two sons, Harold Andrew Rohloff of Woodstock; John Michael Rohloff and his wife Nicki of Westborough, MA; two beloved granddaughters Meghan Katherine Rohloff and Rylie Elizabeth Rohloff; and two sisters Claire Miller of Bloomsbury, NJ; and Alice Kendrick of Midlothian, VA.

Harold was born in Dover, NJ, on September 21, 1941, son of Harold Alfred and Margaret (Grether) Rohloff.  After graduating from Alfred University in New York and serving in the United States Army, Harold was employed as a manufacturer’s representative in the air conditioning/refrigeration industry.

Many of us knew Harold from his work in the HVAC industry and his commitment to bettering that industry. He was instrumental in the founding of ACCA New England Chapter where he volunteered countless hours. Harold sat on the Board of ACCA New England, where in 2007 he was voted Member for Life.

Harold was a well loved member of the Most Holy Trinity Church community in Pomfret, a member of the Woodstock Republican Town Committee and served for many years on the Woodstock Board of Zoning Appeals.

A Memorial Mass was celebrated on Friday, October 2, at 11 a.m. at the Most Holy Trinity Church, witnessed by an overflow crowd of family and friends. Following the service a reception and lunch was held at the Harvest Restaurant in Pomfret.

We will miss Harold.  We are surely better for having met him.

ACCA New England Members, Board of Directors, Staff and Officers offer our deepest sympathies and condolences to Margaret, John and Harold Andrew and family.
