Family of Warren Roche--I wish to express my condolences on the passing of Warren. He and Earl, my late husband , played many games of hand ball at the YMCA. He and I played many games of bridge at the Community Pool. Many of us had good times on the deck at your home in BH. I was glad that he spent his last years at the Continuing Care facility in Warren. My best to all of you. Wilma Gilkey--Greenport, NY.

What a life Warren lived...
I will remember your dad as someone driven to do his best, no matter what! In fact, he inspired that in all of us "yard children" as well. His strength was matched by his generous & faithful soul, exemplified by ALL of the ways he left his mark throughout our part of NJ. Thank you for sharing your dad with our family!
Wishing you all & each the prayers of so many of us who love you all...
Sending you our heartfelt condolences...and loving hugs.
