Joseph M. LaRoche

Joe, you were a solid friend during the most informative time my life. I made it 20 years in USAF. Was hoping when you retired we sit on my back porch here in Wichita, Kansasand talk about old/good times. Then role to Colorado and hike together. I'm going to miss you my brother! I will always love us geothermal. Till I see you again take it slow.

I have missed Joe as well as everyone else in the South Kent Post Office. He was always so helpful to me if I had a problem concerning the mail. What I really miss were the conversations we had. I live in Tennessee now and it too has a tiny P.O., but it's not the same. My condolences to his family.

Joe, What a sad day on Tuesday when I went to the Post Office to mail my letters. You left us so quickly. You are going to be missed by so many.
I will miss all the conversations and the complaining too.
Rest in Peace my friend

Joe, You truly were one of the kindest, warm hearted people that I have ever met. You always thought of everyone else first. I will always have very fond memories of you, whether it be playing golf, softball or helping you with your lawns, you always brought a smile to my face. May you rest in peace, and I hope to see you again someday.

Too many times someone passes on and are forgotten. I've known Joe a long time and he was a great friend and he will be missed by me and all his friends and family and WILL NOT be forgotten. My prayers are with all those who were a part of his life.

Joey -- some of my favorite times ever were the hours we spent at the post office talking about anything and everything, hanging out with Mercedes and Albert, Kevin, Percy, et al....Especially that one hilarious afternoon the postal inspector made a surprise visit,remember!? I've told that story so many times, and it's your reaction that made it sooo funny. I can't thank you enough for being my friend and for being there in some difficult times -- you will always be in my heart and hope heaven has some of the best golf courses and ski slopes ever!! I LOVE YOU JOEY and will never forget you! Love, Annie

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. We will miss him also.
