In Memory

Robert John Roche


Bob and I were married in May 1972 and have 2 beautiful kids. Unfortunately our marriage only lasted 12 years, but we remained very good friends through the years. Bob was a very thoughtful and kind man; he loved his kids and grandchildren. He was an awesome and fun Grandpa! He owned a boat for many, many years and loved being on Lake Erie. He worked at Lincoln Electric since 1974 and retired in the Fall of 2015 with so many plans of fun things and travels to do in his retirement years. He found out he was sick in Oct. 2016 with a very aggressive melanoma cancer and we lost him so quickly. I'm so sad he's not here with us. He was very loved and is missed every single day. RIP sweet man.

I was brokenhearted to learn that Bob was gone. He was always a big-hearted, kind gentleman. I regret we didn't stay in touch. My Bob had a beat-down with melanoma, and is on top, for now. Sending you love and good thoughts. Your children had a great role model. Take care! Sue & Bob
