Alan J. Roach

Alan J. Roach passed away on March 17, 2023 at the age of 66. Alan grew up in Stoneham, Massachusetts; raised his family in Billerica Massachusetts; retired and most recently resided in Wells, Maine and North Fort Meyers, Florida.

Alan was born on October 6, 1956 and was the proud son of Bernard and the late Teresa Roach.

He was a loving husband to his forever soul mate, the late Mary (Lawlor) Roach. Proud father of Patrick (Deanna) Roach, Brenden Roach, and Alana (Daniel) Pope. Smitten grandfather of Patrick, Jr, Domenic, Audrey, Scarlett, and Nathaniel. He was the loving brother of John (Joanne) Roach, Barbara (Ronald) Heestand, Janice (William) Bogasky, and Thomas Roach. He is also survived by his wonderful "outlaws" (the Lawlor Family).

Alan grew up visiting Maine with his family and friends and was a proud member of Local 103 IBEW where he retired after 36 years. Upon retirement, he moved to Wells full-time and enjoyed spending time cooking, gardening, kayaking, visiting the beach, and spending time with his friends at Litchfield's. Alan shared a love of sports with his family, friends, and grandchildren and he enjoyed watching his grandchildren compete any chance he could.

Alan had some of the best friends you could ever have asked for. From camping trips to Patriots games, the memories and stories will always live on.

The loss will be felt most by his grandkids who lovingly called him Pa. They will miss his awful dad jokes, silly pranks, supportive text messages and phone calls, but most of all his tangible love and hugs.

A Celebration of Life will take place at a later date.
