On Friday, family, friends, associates and the many whose lives were touched by a man they may have never met, will gather to say... Thank you! Goodbye. Well done good and faithful servant. His name was Frank Roach. His motto: do the greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people... and he certainly did! I was fortunate to have known and loved this incredible man. For, I called him, dad! My heart is with those whom he moved the most- his daughters: Amy Clark, Jennifer Bailey, Holly Roach, Rebeca Roach!
