Successful businessman and philanthropist Maurice Rollins passed away June 3 at the age of 94. Although a hard driving entrepreneur who built a construction company, a hotel chain and other businesses, Rollins dealt with mental health issues on occasion throughout his life.
He was not afraid to talk about his struggles and donated generously to mental health causes as well as many other charitable endeavors in the Quinte region.
