I'm so very sorry for your loss. I met Billy in May 2024 on the Coastal Georgia Honor Flight which takes veterans to DC for a day of visiting the monuments. I was his guardian for the day, ensuring that he had a good time. We had a great day together wandering around and talking about his time in Vietnam, his lovely wife, and his job. He was very gracious and kind and seemed like a lovely gentleman.

Dear family, Thoughts and prayers go out to you. Love, Wiley and Mary Younce and family

William "Bill" Roach is my cousin and was a very good friend. My father, Hal Roach Sr. and Bill´s grandfather Albert Roach were brothers.

We last spoke on the phone about a week before he passed. I am still in denial that he...

Such a Beautiful person. He truly touched many lives. Rest in Peace
