Rollin was the sixth child born to missionary parents in Lima, Peru. The family returned to USA when he was two years of age. Growing up in central California, he spent summers as a migrant farm worker. In 1947, at nine years of age, he attended a Billy Graham crusade where he responded to the invitation by Mr. Graham to come forward as a public expression of faith. He graduated high school in the top 3 percent of his class, having attended eleven different schools. While serving in the US Navy, he met and married Patricia Fink. They parented two sons, Phillip and Timothy. They were proprietors of a printing business for seventeen years. Patricia went to her eternal reward in 1992.
One of Rollin's last contracts as proprietor was to print publicity and educational materials for the 1995 Billy Graham crusade. After selling the business, he earned a degree in cultural studies and relocated to New Mexico, where he met Hazel Rosalie Garcia at a senior center. They were married a year later.
