JOSEPH LAWRENCE "ROACH" LAROCHELLE

I'm not a social media guy and just found out about this while searching for photos. Joey was one of the coolest guys I ever served with while we were at MP Company 1st FSSG. The shenanigans were epic, suffering endless and Joey provided the humor we needed to get through tough days. Thanks Leone for posting the Company Photo. I remember that day and the Bright Star deployment. It was the hottest place on earth and Joey always kept it lite. You may have been resting for a while, but I...

Barry & Jean, I'm so very sorry to hear of Joseph's passing. Its been probably 40-50 years since we last saw each other. Loved being around your Mom & Dad growing up. Miss them and only have fond memories of them both.

Words cannot express how sorry we are for your loss of Joey. That weekend I had just said to Richard, "I wonder how Joey is doing". That next week Roman told us the news from Facebook. Our thoughts are with you always, Richard & Rosemary Bartlett

Joe, I remember flying to Kuwait and stopping in Bangor, Maine in 1998 with MP Co 1st FSSG, USMC. When the Commanding Officer found out that you were from Maine and your mom was nearby, the order went out, "Make it happen." I remember how happy you were to see your mom, and so were all of us. Now you're home again. I'll make it a point to visit Maine sometime and visit you and your folks. Rest easy, Brother.

Barry & Jean,
Our thoughts are with you.

Barry and Jean - So sorry to hear of the loss of your son. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Galen & Sue Walker

Though I did not know Joseph, we are part of the same family. My grandfather was Maurice's brother. I wanted to say how sorry I am to hear of your loss. I lost a son last year and a daughter on September 25, 2014 also from brain cancer just a few days ago too. May God watch over both our families and help guide us through it. Sincerely, Dawn
