Sorry to hear the loss of my very good friend from law school; the memories will live on with me; the times in Harrington Hall or at U of St T; the St Pat's parties; the long trips to Aroostook; his contributions to society are a fitting tribute to the man

Very sorry to learn of Richard’s passing. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends. The community has lost a treasure who was lovely, kind and caring. I will be forever grateful for his wisdom which, it turns out, was instrumental in saving the life of someone near and dear to me. I was not able to attend the service, but I do celebrate the fine individual that was Richard Roach.

So sorry to hear about Rick. We went to the service on Tuesday and ended up sitting in the parlour because of the number of people in attendance, a true indication of the impact he has made on so many people’s lives. Eric’s eulogy was wonderful and certainly told us how much he was involved in the community and the love he had for his family. Sorry we didn’t get to chat but sending big hugs to you, Melanie and Eric and we’ll be thinking of you.

I used to live in his "big brother's" house in Aroostook Junction, just a stone's throw from where Richard grew up. I have wonderful memories of Hilda and Lawrence and hanging out with him and the Demmings clan on his little street. While I haven't seen him in sixty years, I did hear of his good works both at home and in the community over the years. My sympathy to his family and in particular to Wayne and Doreen.

Rick was a wonderful neighbor and friend, and we so enjoyed his company these past few years, off roading, fishing and walking over to visit in the garage. He will be deeply missed and the next time there is a Howe Crescent concert there will be an empty spot on the stage. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.

To Sandra, Erik and Melanie, I am truly sorry for your loss with the passing of Rick (Ricky). I know he loved all of you as he would always give me updates on his family members whenever we would chat on the phone, in person or on the basketball bench in many gyms all across the province. He dedicated so many hours to our OHS Basketball Teams over the three years we were together and always stepped up for drives in the Roach Runner and buying a player food before or after a game if they were hungry. Rick was a role model for me and our players and a true friend that I would consider family. Truly sorry for your loss and sending you all a Big Hug. Deepest Condolences. Robin Buchanan (Coach B)

So saddened to read of Rick's passing. It was always such a pleasure to chat with Rick about anything and I recall so fondly our birding adventures with Rudy and especially with Belle. Even when Belle decided to eat all around the outside of your Vachon cake, Rick, while we were too caught up with spotting birds instead of paying attention to what she was up to in the back seat. Rest in peace. You will be very much missed. My deepest condolences to Sandra and to all of the family.
