James M. Roach

Rita;

My name is Enrique and you may remember Jim was my supervisor at FPL. Like may times before, tonight, I was thinking about the times I spent working with him and decided to look him up in the Internet. I am schocked and heart broken to find that he passed away last year. I regret not having been able to contact him previously. I was a 24 year old recent graduate back in 1974, and I felt that at times he treated me like a son. I am a witness to Jim's generosity and kindness to...

Mrs. Roach, Sheila, and Maureen,
Arul and I are so sorry for your loss. He was such a wonderful man, when Sheila got married, he chatted with us like he knew us for years even though he had just met us. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you! Sheila, talk to you soon. Our love to you all.

Rita, we were so sorry to hear about Jim's passing. We will never forget the time we all got together for a Sunday dinner at the House of Hughes when you were in Chicago for a visit. We had such a good time. Jim was so kind and I know you and the girls will truly miss him. You are in our prayers. Love, Marty & Loretta Cunningham, Oak Lawn, IL

Rita, Sheila and Maureen, my thoughts are with you at this difficult time. I am so sorry to hear about Jim's passing. I will keep you all in my prayers, and will be in touch soon.

Dear Mrs. Roach and family,

I work at the Goodwill store in Wellington, Florida. A mutual friend came in yesterday and told me that Jim had passed away. I was very upset because he was a terrific guy, and we always loved to see him. He reminded me of my dad, always smiling. He was obviously a person of quality and accomplishment, although he never bragged or acted superior. I always tried to get him talking about Chicago, because listening to him made me feel like I'd been...

Rita, I was so saddened to hear of Jim's passing. I looked for the two of you at the last retiree luncheon and was disappointed that you did not attend. Jim was always so kind whenever we would come in contact over all those years. I know Bob had much respect for Jim. My heart goes out to you, Sheila and Maureen. God bless you. Trudy

Sending many prayers for peace and wonderful memories to the Roach family.
