Several months ago, I was one of Bill’s nurses at DMH. He and I discussed about how we were probably related way back in the Roarick family. I’ve been doing some genealogy on several family members, so I started digging and found-sure enough-we ARE related. Bill is of my father’s generation, but our common relatives are Henry Roarick and his wife Catherine (Buchman)Roarick, both born around 1824 in Germany. RIP, cousin!!!
We enjoyed being neighbors with Bill and Rita.
Bill and Rita were our neighbors. Very nice people! Bill was very proud of his kids and grandkids.
To all of you. I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. I bet they are having a great time in heaven. Seems like all of our parents are gone. One day we will all be together again! As the Irish put it “Until We Meet Again!”
