Not sure what to say?

San Carlos won't be the same without him. My thoughts will be with the Roza family.

My condolences to the Roza family.
I was fortunate to have shared a golf cart with Dick before the Bishop O'Dowd 50th class reunion in 2012. We had a great time reminiscing about the good old days as my teacher and baseball coach.
Rest in peace Dick.

My condolences to the family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Roza family during this difficult time. I recall very fond memories of "Mr. Roza" while attending Bishop O'Dowd with my three brothers, Greg (1968), Scott (1972) and Dan (1976) and I know they join me (along with my mother, Marion) in sending our condolences. May the memories bring peace to the entire family as time passes.

To the Roza Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow. Dick was my teacher, coach and mentor at Bishop O'Dowd ('58-'62) and friend for almost 55 years beyond that. In the classroom and on the diamond, he was an inspiration to me. I will miss him.

Very sorry to hear of Dick's passing much love to Barbara, Linda, Jeanine and Mike. With each loss of my parents' generation, it takes another bite out of my childhood. Dick and Barbara were first Uncle Dick and Aunt Barbara to my sisters and me, as we referred to all of our parents' long-time friends. From my parents' parties to St. Charles to the playground at White Oaks to the softball diamond at Burton, lots of great memories. I feel fortunate I had a chance to chat with Dick at Back to...

The Roza family has been in my thoughts and prayers since I heard about your Husband/Dad's passing. What an incredible man! He touched so many lives-including ALL the Masons. So many childhood memories include him and your family. It is why San Carlos and St. Charles hold such a special place in the hearts of all who lived there. Thank you for sharing him with us - God Bless you and keep you strong during the months to come!
