John William Roach

A fountain of knowledge and comprehension, and he lived his life to the fullest without any regrets.

We are a product of things we've been exposed to over the years and the truest gift of all is a portion of yourself.
Thanks Johnny for all the gifts you gave me. I use them everyday.

"It broke our hearts to lose you
but you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you,
the day God called you home."

Vaya Con Dios my friend

John and I were classmates in Arlington Heights High School Class of 1943. We played together in its marching band and the "Cavaliers" dance band - John on trombone, me on drums. Later I worked with John when he was with Binswanger Glass and I was with Thos. S. Byrne General Contractors. He was indeed a fine man and a good friend. My very sincere condolences to Nita and family.

with love, always.

Our Condolences and prayers to you, Kris and your family.

John was one of the best individuals I have ever known. As indicated, he was never at a loss for words. My condolences to Nita and family. Love you all.

My condolences and prayer to Mr. Roach's family. He was such a good soul and kind man. He was so strong in his faith that it inspired me to be a better Catholic. I will miss his kind words and sweet demeanor as I pass by where he stationed himself when I go to Communion at St. Rita's.
