I send my condonences and prayers to your family. Back in approx 1960 Mr. Roche was my first drill instructor when St William's Drill Team was formed in Tewksbury, MA. I was 9 or 10 at the time but I still remember him fondly. He didn't stay with our team for long but he is the most remembered of all our instructors. Thank you for sharing him with us.
