I just found out about David. I was looking for a while. Today I was trying to find him to let him know that my Mother passed away on Feb. 17th. A Memorial service will be held at Boldtvillle Presbyterian church on 3/22/25 at 11:00 am. I guess he will already know and will greet her in heaven.

I was so saddened to read of David's passing in Sunday's Express News. He gave the best sermons ever at Boldtville Presbyterian Church, always carefully created and containing tidbits of wisdom to take into my life and use. He posed good, deep questions worth pondering. I heard a great man say once that to understand the great philosophers, do not look for the answers they give, but the questions they ask. I remember attending a party David and his first wife, Mary Carmen, gave at the Boldtville manse. It was a happy party full of good Christian fellowship. How wonderful, too, to meet the beautiful Persian cats that Mary Carmen raised in the basement. When I could, I visited Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church while David was there to get my "David Roach Fix." He was an unforgettable, natural pastor and a good friend. RIP David. Your legacy will live on in our hearts. Condolences to his close family and friends.

Prayers for the Roach Family. He served as the minster of Good Sheperd Presbyterian and Baptized our youngest Son In 1987 at the Church. My Mom was Bertha Mcarthy and we attended and were members from 1965-2021(When it closed)
