Dear Roache family, what sad news of Frank's passing.Frank and Roma were neighbours in Bulls.
The house was always open for the children of
the street and Nicko was a mate of my daughter
Luella -wonderful days. Mum played the organ and church and we had a lovely friendship during their
time in Bulls. A time spent at their home iWellington and Roma collected me from my
sister's home in Glenfield and we had a super, super day together talking about old times.
Frank always the gentleman, may you now rest
with the love of your life Roma.
Your memories, keep them close, they will
fill up the day ahead.
Remembered with kindness and love

As near neighbours in Auckland, Kathy and I were long time friends of Frank and Roma and took Frank out on many bike rides around Auckland after Roma's passing, and was entrusted to keep his pool clean when he moved to Gisbourne and before he sold his house. Warmest regards to Frank's family and all who will miss him.

A kind, caring and well respected member of the Gisborne Bridge Club. He looked forward to supper night- especially "club sandwiches!" And he made every effort to attend regularly. We will miss you.

What a shock to hear of Frank's passing. I well remember the holidays we had at Otane, when his mother and father had me to stay. I then came in touch with Frank when he was in the Air Force at Ohakea. My wife Julie and I always enjoyed our time with him. To the family please accept my condolences you will miss him.
