RAYMOND ALFRED FRANCIS ROACH
It is with great sadness and deep regret that we announce the passing of our beloved husband and father, Raymond Alfred Francis Roach, on October 23, 2021 at Seven Oaks Hospital at the age of 91.
He is predeceased by his parents, Eva and Alfred Roach; brother, Clifford Roach and his sister, Lucille Nelson. Left to cherish his memory are his beloved wife, Beatrice of 67 years of marriage; two daughters, Beverly (Richard) and Barbara (John) and all his nieces and nephews residing in Saskatchewan and Ontario.
Raymond was born in Watrous, Saskatchewan on February 19, 1930. Raymond worked most of his life with Western Grocers in the wholesale division, which he loved. After leaving Ontario, where he met Beatrice and married, he took a position in Turtleford, Saskatchewan as Administrator of the hospital. His life was work and enjoying time with family and friends. Whether it was at his home or at the cottage. His one accomplishment was bringing mandarin oranges to Western Canada. His main passion was his love of people who surrounded him with happiness, caring and much love.
A celebration of life will be held on November 03 , 2021 at 11:00 am at Wojcik’s Funeral Chapel, 1020 Main Street in Winnipeg. Interment to follow at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home & Cemetery, 4000 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg.
