“yesterday, my wife Robba and I attended the funeral services of Ed Rolfs of Junction City, KS. I come today to pay honor to this Kansan, to this great individual, and pay tribute to his contributions to his community and to our State. Mr. Rolfs was born on December 13, 1924, in Junction City, KS, where he lived his entire life. He attended school there and graduated from Junction City High School. He then attended the University of Kansas for his undergraduate degree and later received degrees from Columbia University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Ed was a lifelong student and was always busy. He was an avid reader and researcher. He studied financial markets and economic trends. He also stuck to his roots as a farmer, and he worked on the family farm until his passing this week. The community and State know him as a strong supporter of schools and education. He continually supported scholarships and mentored many young men and women in the Junction City area. He was a banker, and he began his career at the bank his father first started in 1915--Central National Bank. In 1967, Ed was promoted. He was named president of the bank, and he served in that capacity for over 25 years. He saw a great deal of growth and expansion in the bank as it spread into communities across the State and region. He was a president of a big bank, but he was a president of a community bank that had relationships with its customers.…”
