Roger L. Grove

Roger coached as my assistant track and field coach in the early 1970's. In 1973 we won the team title in the PIAA State Track and Field Championships. He was a very dedicated coach in a number of sports at Norristown.

I just stumbled across the loss of Mr. Roger Grove. The best Norristown Area Sr. High School Football coach EVER! I am Class of 1980. I remember the days how I watched Mr. Grove interact with his football players during football games. I remember (I believe) Steve Bono was our HS quarterback and I remember another standout player Timmy Carroll. He was tough with his players, but genuine and kind at the same time. He was a very nice man. Thank you for the good memories Mr. Grove during my high school years for making our football team win games and leading us to championships. I am very saddened by your loss.

i knew coach grove when i went to norristow high school. he was a very good coach. he always had a smile on his face. he always asked what was wrong if he seen you upset. i will miss his smiles and advice. he always had a kind word.

Roger Grove devoted his entire adult life to helping young men achieve their dreams. His selfless dedication, unimpeachable integrity and unflinching loyalty to the young men with whom he worked made him an exemplary role model for all of them as well as those of us who were fortunate to be his colleagues. His legacy will live on in the lives of those
whose lives touched his. May he rest in peace.

I will alway appreciate Roger's humous philosphy of life and perspecitive on why things are the way they are. Quite honestly, it got me through many a trying day of teaching at NAHS. "Smitty", retired NAHS Art Department Teacher

Coach Grove was one of a kind,always a gentleman and also a great role model. Rest in peace Coach.

Coach was always very supportive of our middle school football program at Eisenhower. He appreciated the basics that we pushed and would always thank me when we would see each other. He was Norristown Football! My thoughts and prayers are with the Grove Family during this difficult time.

Sorry to hear this. Roger was a good man. A good coach. Always talked straight, told you what he thought. RIP, Roger.

Coach Grove was a wonderful indivual and an excellent teacher. He inspired me, along with his team @NAHS in 2002, to maintain a fit, sporty, well-trained regime through his encouragement in phys ed and organized sports as an elective. I wasn't particularly athletic at the time. I thank him and will remember him well for this.

An eternal light will be lit. In my thoughts and prayers.

I will miss one of the greatest influences in my life. Roger will always hold a special place in my heart and will always be in my thoughts. One tough SOB, Save me a coffee next to the big guy. Rest in peace my friend

So sorry for your loss, always in my prayers.

Coach Grove taught me how to be a coach - he taught me how to watch videos , scout , game plan and how to handle myself as a young coach . 26 years later I'm still at it . THANKS COACH

Rest easy, Coach. We'll take the lessons you taught us and put them to good use. Thank you for everything.
