I am so very, very, sorry I talked to my long,long friend when I moved back to cleveland, our classrooms were next to each other at Kirk, he also introduced me to my late husband, we did not get a time to see each other due to both of our health problems

Mr. Roach was my 7th and 8th grade science teacher at Kirk Jr. High in East Cleveland. He was an excellent teacher and example. I have fond memories of his class and the fun times that were shared by all the students he taught. He made his class fun but wasn't afraid to administer the needed discipline to his students. Even making a personal phone call to my mom when I tried to get out of hand. :) The kind of teacher he was is much needed in the classroom today! Teachers helped the parents to raise productive respectful adults. You will be missed but the bible promises the time when all those in the memorial tombs (grave) will be awakened from sleep to God's new world where peace, happiness and everlasting life will be enjoyed as was promised from the beginning. John 5:28,29; Revelation 21:3,4 ; Psalms 37:11,29
