Not sure what to say?

Kevin and I are so sorry to hear about Bob's illness and passing. Bob and Marta were both so kind to us. Always friendly and always welcoming. We bought our first house from Bob and Marta. They seemed happy that someone from the neighborhood would be buying their house. We think of both of them often and are thankful for their kindness. Bob will be missed by many people living around here. Everyone has such warm, fond memories and kind things to say about him.

My great uncle Bob was truly great. He was my mom's godfather (Bob's brother was her dad) and she always thought the world of him. He and Marty made a very uplifting visit to my mom at home in Greenfield, after she started chemo last year and I am so grateful for the smiles & hope he brought her. My parents & I will never forget him.

SENDING YOU MUCH LOVE AND MANY THOUGHTS
AND pRAYERS TO A VERY "SPECIAL RELATIVE" WHO WILL BE DEARLY MISSED.
PRAYING FOR YOU, MARTEE, AND ALL YOUR WONDERFUL FAMILY. SO MANY GOOD MEMORIES OF ALL OF YOU. HOPE TO SEE YOU FRIDAY. GOD BLESS - MARY & KEN

Bob was a good friend, poker playing buddy and my assistant basketball coach at St. Sebastian. He never failed to curb his enthusiasm during a game. His love of life will be truly missed. Our deepest sympathy goes out to Marti and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I appreciated that Mr. Roach served his country in the U. S. Marine Corp in World War II. As part of the greatest generation he helped save the world. I salute this veteran. In his honor I am registering him on the coputer data base at the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.

All my condolences to the family during this time of loss. My love, thoughts and prayers are with you.

At any family gathering there was alway an opportunity to sit with Bob and share a travel adventure or a particular book you found interesting. He had a big and diverse heart. Condolences, love and courage to Bob's family and friends. Love Jane xo

I have never forgotten the times we had back in the late 40's at St. Norbert College. 'haven't seen Bob for these past 25 years, but had hoped to see him at the SNC 50th reunion in 2000. I'll cherish the memories for the rest of my years,and wish to extend my sincere condolences to the family. May God Bless Bob for all eternity
