Gerald ROACH Obituary
Tehachapi - We said goodbye to Gerry Roach on June 7, 2023 as he made his final journey to join the Lord above. He lived and worked in the Antelope Valley for over 40 years. He was born and raised near Ottawa, Canada. Gerry came to Mojave with the Canadair program and never left. He worked many aerospace companies as a mechanic, inspector and chief inspector - Flight Systems, Lockheed, Northrop, Edwards, the space shuttle, the B1 bomber, the B2, the strike fighter, the space shuttle, - he inspected them all. Dearly loved by his family, former wife Rachel, son Randy, wife and two children and son Danny, wife and six children and predeceased by parents and six siblings in Canada. Survived by two sisters in Canada and many nieces, nephews and eight grandchildren. Will miss your twinkling eyes and crazy songs. Private goodbye ceremony to follow.
