The Pearl Harbor shooting came just days before a ceremony to remember those who perished in the Japanese bombing 78 years ago that propelled the U.S. into World War II. They said the isolated attack, witnessed by shipyard employees in an area with thousands of workers, unfolded in about 23 seconds. “We will forever remember Roldan to be humble and honest, and a generous and patient man,” the statement said. A family statement described him as an “easy-going, fun-loving, ‘let’s do this’ man.” Services were scheduled for Dec. 15. The Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard repairs, maintains and modernizes the ships and submarines of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, which is headquartered at Pearl Harbor.
