Dear Baloche Family,
Just sending come encouraging words from the Holy Book that Jesus died as a ransom for many of mankind so that we might not experience death in God's future time. May we have the hope and faith in that ransom sacrifice because of what it can do for us.
Matthew 20:28.

My sympathy and prayers to the Baloche Family.
Roger is smiling down on all of you, I'm sure and thanking God for all your love during his years on earth.
May God Bless you and comfort you until you see Roger again one day in Heaven (because there is no doubt that he is there!)

To all the Baloche's, especially dearest Angele -
I could not have loved Roger more. He is a sweet part of my life, my rich memories... So sweet, always with a welcoming smile and a French greeting. I am saddened for all of you for your loss. The world has lost an irreplacable gem of humanity.

Your Dad was one of those special Men
Who truly knew what life was about
Who demonstrated that his family came first and golf second.
For his actions left no room for doubt.
Your Father's Greatest Joy was His Wife,Children, Grand Children, Great Grand Children and Golf
In fact, there was no faster way
To light up His face with an ear-to-ear smile
Than the mention of his family and ask him if he would like to play Golf.
He preferred to discuss his family's accomplishments,Rather than his own: Except of course, Golf
And loved to recall the Sweet Memories
of His Family and how they had grown..."and Golf".
So as I say goodbye and remember
Your Father's life...the Man of Great Character and Golfer he came to be.
He'd be happiest being remembered by all who knew him: As a Man who Loved His Family & Golf. He Also Might Advise us all to Do everything in moderation,(except Golf) relax have a beer and, if you do not already Play Golf, Highly Suggest You LEARN to Play Golf and Play A Lot!
I am sure when He met Saint Peter Thurday at The Gates Of Heaven and Saint Peter asked if he would like to meet God? He answered Respectfully I'm Sure! Ahh Jezzz Ahhh Sure. Ahh Jezzz Ahh, Ahh Saint Peter, could you ask Him to Please meet me at the First Tee Box, Ahh Jezzz I Can't wait to play This course.
Have Fun Golfing With God Mr Baloche!!
Thank You For Sharing All Your Wisdom Over The Years. I Started a little late Following it. But as the age old saying goes "Better Late Then Never"
I Will Always Be Grateful That I Was Fortunate Enough To Know You, Angele and Your Wondeful and Caring Family.
You Will Live In My Heart & Mind Forever.
Ahh Jezzz Ahh, One Last Thing Mr Baloche. I Know this won't be easy but, as You're Golfing with God: Do ya think you could like accidently slip a good word or TWO in for me? I'm gonna need a few good references! I Have A Good Feeling He Just Might Consider Your's
I Love & Respect You & Your Wonderful Family
Golf In Peace
