Roch Coll Obituary
Doctor Roch P. Coll, born February 26, 1949, died July 8, 2009. Today we mourn the passing of a very special man. Roch Patrick Coll was born in Cookstown, Northern Ireland on February 26, 1949 to Patrick and Annie Coll. He was the third of six children. Roch left for boarding school at age eleven, entered medical school at age eighteen and graduated from Trinity College, Dublin in 1974. He spent the next year as a Pathologist in Minneapolis but missed the contact with patients and returned to Dublin to practice Internal Medicine at Baggot St. Hospital. He took and passed the Boards in 1979 to become a Member of the Royal College of Physicians. On September 9th, 1980 he married Barbara (Mullen) and they moved to America making Phoenix their home for the past 29 years. They have two children, Sean and Abigail, who were his pride and joy. Roch was passionate about many things: golf, reading, music, gardening. His greatest passions, however, were his family and his work. He was kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. Roch was loved and respected by his colleagues, patients, friends and family. Roch passed peacefully while holding the hand of his beloved wife on July 8th, 2009. He is survived by his wife and children, his mother Annie, and his brothers John, Patrick and Tony (as well as their wonderful families). He will be sadly missed. A Memorial Mass will be held at 10:30 am, Saturday, August 1, 2009 at Sts. Simon and Jude Cathedral, 6351 N. 27th Avenue, Phoenix. In lieu of flowers or cards, contributions may be made in his name to The Loreto Sisters Retirement Fund.

I moved from Phoenix in 2004 and had to leave Dr. Coll. I missed him every day while hunting for a new physician and never found the one to replace him. Thru the years I remembered certain visits and especially when he was going to draw blood and I was a needle phobic. He was so kind, patient and caring. I just today learned that he had passed in 2009 and my heart broke. I just kept thinking he was still in Phoenix practicing and I would one day go back and visit. God Bless him and his family.

As a patient of Dr. Coll's, I will miss his caring, thoughtful, and compassionate nature. He always had time to look at a family picture, or laugh at an amusing story. He is truly a good soul. His talents as a diagnostician made him seem larger than life. He will not be forgotten.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, Barbara, and his children.

I will miss Dr. Coll's patience and compassion. He attentively listened to my stories of aches and pains, and never made me feel like I was just another old woman complaining. He was a wonderful doctor, and I've thought of him a lot since learning of his passing. He is in my prayers.

The Jenkins' family really misses Dr. Coll and all his wisdom, knowledge and wonderful sense of humor. The picture of Dr. Coll in the paper captures his twinkle in his eyes and his kindness to others. We will miss coming into the office, greeting you Mrs. Coll, knowing that we were in good hands and whatever was wrong could be fixed or treated with such warmth and caring. You both were great with my mom, my brothers, my husband and my sons. there was always time to chat and we felt very comfortable knowing we were in his care. He was one of a kind. He is missed. Mrs. Coll, thank you for sharing him with us. God bless.

Dr. Roch Coll was a "rock". A great doctor who didn't push anything on you. If you needed it, he did it... how refreshing. We actually looked forward to going to the doctor. He was kind and knowledgeable about many different subjects. We talked about whatever his mind was on that day, a recent trip to Churchill's home in England, something he'd read from Keats the evening before or how proud he was of the kids and how they were doing. Wonderful times all. We already miss him. Barbara, we wish you peace... and our love.

Dear Barbara and family,
Doctor Coll was very special to us and we miss him very much.
He was our physician for many years, and we both always trusted his recommendations. Kenny had a special case and Dr. Coll was so wonderful with his method of treatment. He was always there for us, during the rough times or the general check ups! Fortunately Kenny was able to see Dr. Coll one last time before his passing.
We have never or may never again have a Doctor like Doctor Coll.
He was a gentle person who was very interested not only in your physical ailment but also interested in what is going on in your life. I always felt special in his care. We will miss him greatly and always remember him fondly. What a great loss to all.
Kenny, Melody and Melina

Words can't express the sympathy I feel for you. He was truly a great man. I will never forget the friendship and the kindness that he showed my mother before she passed and the twenty some odd years prior to that. I will never forget the care he gave me and my children. I am honored that God gave me the opportunity to meet him. I am comforted knowing that he is with our Savior. He will truly be missed.

Barbara:: As a patient of Dr. Coll's for the past 20 plus years his incredible accurate diagnosis of my health issues always prompted me to tell my wife when she had concerns to "go see Dr. Coll, he knows everything about everything". My admiration for him is without bounds, I shall miss our conversations about golf and music and I shall miss him. He is truly "a man's man" ~!~ I know how difficult it is for you to accept his passing but we know he is an angel in heaven, playing the guitar with St. Peter and playing golf with the 'big guy' ~!!~!Our prayers are with you. God bless you~!~!~

Barbara and family, Deepest sympathy in the loss of your dear one. I was not a patient of Dr. C., however I brought Carrie Miller to see him. I have the greatest admiration for the doctor - the care and patience he extended to Carrie and his thoughtfulness to us when we were in the office. What a great loss to all. Fondly, Leonore Metzger. P.S. Carrie is still w/us, living at home and doing well.

Dr. Coll was my trusted physician for the last ten years and I will greatly miss the level of care and concern that he provided. Although I did not know Dr. Coll outside of his practice it always seemed to me that he was a very kind man. My condolences to the Coll family; my prayers are with you.

Barbara, Abby and Sean:
Words seem feeble and hard to conjure up at a time like this. I regret that I have not seen you all in so long, but have thought of the Coll clan often. I have so many fond memories of Roch in those early years in Phoenix – driving on the wrong side of the road, getting schooled in ping pong and learning a bit about Ireland pop immediately to mind.
I am so sorry and extend my condolences.

To the family of Dr. Coll --
My thoughts and prayers and with you and yours. I will miss Dr. Coll's straight talk and his kind spirit. He was a wonderful doctor. I'll never forget the time he told me my blood pressure was high and I said "It's probably just the white coat creating anxiety." He promptly stopped me there, smiled, and calmly said "If I scare you in this white coat I can't imagine what your blood pressure is out there in the world."
He will be surely missed.

My deepest sympathy for you and the children at this time. I know it's hard but look what footprint he left behind. He will be truly missed. I would always love coming in there that's probably why I got sick a lot, Dr. Coll would tell me stop worrying your still young. I will never find a doctor like him. I always enjoyed seeing his artwork in the lobby. I will be praying for you and the family.

Dear Barbara,
It's been many years, but we just heard of Roch's passing and want to extend our condolences. I enjoyed working with him, and we enjoyed your company when we went to LA to see The Phantom of the Opera. An Irish patient of mine, who knew Roch through the Irish community here, made me aware. We will miss him. Best wishes to you and your family.

Doc Coll was such an amazing doctor and human being. I was so blessed to have known him. I have went to him since I was a child and he was the one who told me I was pregnant when I was so very scared. He hugged me and told me everything would be okay. He was so much more than a doctor. I will truly miss him and you are in my prayers. God will surely take care of him.

I , like so many others , were so very sad to hear of Dr. Coll's passing. He was my doctor for over 20 years and was always so very kind and caring.
I loved relating my experience at working PGA Golf Tournaments with him as a Volunteer Marshal or Scorer. I know how much he loved the game.
Dr. Coll will be solely missed.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and family.

Dear Barbara and family,
I was hoping that somehow he would beat this, but I guess this was not God's plan. It was a privilege having him as my doctor for all these past years. I will truly miss his down to earth personality...he was an honest and caring doctor. I'm sure I will never meet another great doctor like him.
Barbara, may God be with you and your family during this difficult time and provide you with the extra strength to sustain you.
RIP Dr Coll.
July 15, 2009
Barb and family: We will all miss this most wonderful man. He was one of my dearest friends. I've known Roch since he came to America to practice medicine. He was a great friend, family man, husband, and physician. His memory will live with us all forever. Please keep in touch. Robert Gearhart.

On behalf of my mother Kitty Johnson, please extend our deepest sympathies to the family. Dr. Coll was very special to my mother and treated her with the utmost respect.

Dear Barbara, Sean and Abby:
I am so heartbroken at hearing of Dr. Coll's passing. He was truly a great person. I have known your family since I started working for Dr. Coll when I was 17 years old, and then on the weekends I would babysit the kids. I still treasure the warmth and love that your family has shown me and my family. I really enjoyed working for him at the office and then when I had my children, I could think of no one better than Dr. Coll to take care of them. I trusted him explicately. He will be hard to replace as a physician and impossible to replace as a friend. My sympathy and condolences go out to your family.
July 13, 2009
Harold and Anita Robinson. Barbara. Anita and I will miss the time we had with Roch, his inspiration,comforting and wise counsel will stay with us the rest of our live's.

I hope he stays away from the rear end of golf carts in Heaven.

As I read through the entries that other people have written, I found myself saying, "Yes, that's right. I agree!" Barbara, your husband was a treasured gift to our world. Roch was always so helpful to me as a single Mom with two children, sensative to the costs of medicines and giving professional samples whenever he could. A kinder man I have never met. I always enjoyed sharing the good stories of how blessed we felt now that our children are grown and doing so well. I've been praying these past months since hearing of his illness, that God would grant him 20 more years on this earth, but that was not to be. Now I will be praying for you, Barbara and Sean and Abby that God's strength and mercy will carry you through these times. You and Roch were an example of the type of marriage that we all wish we had. His friendship with my brother Moe while he was alive was one of my brother's most cherished possessions. I can't help but think that they are both together again - playing their guitars, golfing, and generally spreading joy in the heavenly realms. May the God of all comfort and grace be with you now. Blessings, Hugs, & Love

Dear Barbara, Sean and Abby,
I have been thinking and praying for your family for months. However, I was not prepared for Roch's passing. Barbara, I remember first meting you and Roch at the Little League field. You and Roch would set up your chairs and sit out by the outfield. Your love and respect for each other was so evident by just watching you two.
It was a pleasure to raise my kids alongside of you and Roch. I was so happy when Danny told me that he had been reunited with Sean when they were studying for the BAR. As soon as I saw Danny's name on the list of folks that passed, the second person I looked for was Sean, and I was almost as happy for Sean as I was Danny.
I remember how cute you always dressed Abby and everyone took turns holding her and playing with her.
Roch was a wonderful husband, father, friend and doctor. His legacy will continue on through you Sean and Abby. I am so sorry for your loss, please find comfort in knowing that you have a whole community that will do anything for you!
Love,
Mary Palmer

My wife Sue and I are very sorry to hear of the passing of Dr Coll. He was a very thorough doctor. He was also a very gentle and caring person. He took the time to talk to me as a patient in not only a professional manor but on personal level to understand what my medical problems were. I really valued his services.
If at all possible, I would like to know what took him from this earth so soon. Other than his letter that his practice was closing due to medical reasons, what did Dr. Coll die from?
Again, We are sad to hear of the news.

Besides being a great doctor, Dr Coll was a phenomenal person. I was blessed to have him as my doctor since he started practice in Arizona 30 years ago. But more importantly - my family was blessed to have him as their doctor. Dr Coll went above and beyond what most doctors would ever consider doing. From his home visits for my parents in their finals years, to phone calls just to check in. I always looked forward to his is heart to heart talks and advice. There is absolutely no doubt, he is one of a kind and will be sorely missed. So much could be learned from a great man like him... Barbara and the kids – my thoughts and prayers go out to you during this difficult time…. Van Jackson

Dr.Coll was not only a wonderful doctor but a man you would call friend as well. He listened sincerely to his patients and never rushed through a visit. When you were treated by Dr.Coll, you felt as though you had been taken care of, you felt like a person, not a problem someone was rushing to fix in a ten minuet span. He will be missed and my condolences go out to his wife, children, and other family members. We will be praying and thinking of you.

I remember Barbara telling me Roch was the type of country doctor that would still make house calls. That he would spend hours at night reading up about whatever perplexed him in a patient's condition. I didn't think doctors like that existed anymore, but Roch was unique. He treated the whole person not just the specific ailment you went in for. He was never in a hurry to get you in and out and would spend time asking lots of questions, thouroughly present. Barbara was the perfect partner,friend and wife. They were a great team in the office and at home. What more could a man be given in life to make him happy but to raise wonderful children he is proud of, have an adoring wife by his side who is as bright as he is, and a career he loved to get up and go to every day. Roch had it all, knew it, and always appreciated it. Barbara, Sean, Abby, you gave him everything. Your family is an example of the greatness of love.
