Ministry of Music Mrs. Betty Wonders, Keyboardist. Pastor Mark Cizauskas, Soloist. Interment East Plains Cemetery (Please gather at 2:30). I WILL REMEMBER HIM THERE - As I look to each fall, I will always wonder why God took him away in the blink of an eye. When a deer runs by, I will look everywhere. I'll know that he's near and I will remember him there. As winter approaches and the winds blow strong I will keep my focus, God's will is never wrong. As a fresh snow sparkles, I will look everywhere. I'll know that he's near and I will remember him there. As the spring season arrives I will long to hear his voice. We are here for a purpose and this was God's choice. When a fish breaks water, I will look everywhere. I'll know that he's near and I will remember him there. As the years will go by he will be with me in part. I will visit the memories down deep in my heart. When the going gets tough, I will look everywhere. I love you, my Jeffrey and I will remember you there. ~ Kimberly Bell Mocini "Robert Emmett Roche II, age 44, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, July 29, 2007. He was a beloved son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend. Bob was an avid reader and loved technology; he always had the latest and greatest gadgets, and he enjoyed teaching others on how to use them. Bob worked for U. S. Airways for 20 years and enjoyed traveling and living around the world. It was his passion for technology and travel that led him to start his own computer company in the Philippines. For leisure, Bob enjoyed bowling and had several 300 games. Bob can be described as intelligent, funny, and a hard worker. He was very caring to his family and friends. Bob is survived by his mother, Dierdre and her husband, Ken Hybarger of Belding; brothers and sisters, Thomas Roche of Jackson, MI, Melissa Roche of Rockford, MI, and Jerry and Jim Roche of Grand Rapids; nephews, Jacob and Joshua; step-brothers and sister and their families; Charles and Denise Hybarger of Omaha, NE, Steven and Lisa Hybarger of Toledo, OH, and Janice and Rob Stryker of Okemos, MI; aunts and uncles, Sharon and Louie Kline of Westphalia and Jerry and Pam Pennington of Ionia, MI; and several cousins.
