Michael Roche Obituary

I was fortunate to have a fantastic father. He lived the values of excellence, joi d'vive and unconditional love. I cherish my memory of him as well as the many posted here.

We at Inscape Publishing just learned today Sept 15, of your father's passing. Mike's peers are saddened and feeling the loss. He was the greatest friend and mentor. We will miss him for years to come.

To the Family of Michael Roche, my deepest sympathy and prayers are with you at this time.

To the family of Mike Roche, my deepest sympathy. I got to know Mike at Prairieview School. His visits to the Library were always a joy! He'd have a great joke, or a little dance step and always a smile on his face. He will be greatly missed--my prayers to you all. Kathy Penckofer

To the family of my friend Dr. Mike:



The dance floor will be a sadder and emptier place without Mike. I have known of his love for dancing for over 10 years. I even remember a dance domonstration he put on in the 4 count hustle at the annual Harper College fall dance some years ago.



I was so sad to hear of his passing.



Please accept my deep sympathy.

My name is Paul Schmid and was Brother Honorius Paulian in the Novitiate class of 1955. I enjoyed going through the Scholasticate with Mike. He was a worthy competitor in everything. This world is a better place because of Mike and wish there were more of him. God bless.

We offer our thoughts and prayers to the family of Mike Roche.

Mike and his family are in my prayers. He was a classmate of mine in the class of 1955 at LaSalle Institute, Glencoe, Mo.
Precious memories!

I graduated with Mike from La Salle Institute in '55 and St. Mary's College in '59. I have good memories of Mike as a student, athlete, and friend. Be assured of my prayers for Mike and his family.

Dear Erin & Mikayla,

I appreciated your father's professional support to me over the years. And I know the great love he had for dancing. I'll leave a little space on the dance floor for his spirit this weekend.

I was a Christian Brother along with Brother Michael. My name was Brother Harold Robert. We went through Novitiate and Scholasticate together. I remember him as very bright and an excellent athlete. We taught together for a year at Cretin H.S. in St. Paul. I send you my prayers in this time of sorrow, and hope his was a peaceful passing. Blessings to you. Bob
