Roche Thomas
Lambe, age 69, passed peacefully in his sleep
surrounded by loved ones on Friday, June 12, 2020 at the Miller Center
in St.Johns, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Roche was born on July 6, 1950 and
raised in Lord’s Cove. He is predeceased by parents Sam &
Annie Lambe, and also his niece Lyndsey. Roche was part of a large
family with nine siblings…Winston, Eileen, Selina, Theresa, Barbera,
Gary, Gwen, Lynette and Dominic. He graduated from Memorial University
of Nfld with a BA Ed. Roche had recently retired after a long and
successful career as a high school teacher, and had touched the lives
of many students during his time in St.Lawrence, Lawn and later in
Pelly Crossing.
He is survived by his four
children…Stephen (wife, Sue), Danny, Jonathan and Catherine. He also
had three grandchildren Noah, Abbie, and Cohen.
Roche was a brother, a father, an
uncle, a teacher, a leader and a guiding mentor. He was a beacon of
light in this world, and gave his love so freely to so many. Words
cannot begin to describe the void we’ll all be feeling without his
presence in our lives.
Memorial service will be held at
Barrett’s Funeral Home at 328
Hamilton Ave. on Wednesday June 17th at 1 pm, but with Covid
still being a concern, it will be confined to immediate family only.
There will be a burial service held on Saturday June 20th at 2pm in
Lords Cove. Service is open to the public but the family requests
visitors stay in their cars until after the family has
departed.
Flowers may be offered at Barrett’s
Funeral Home, and any donations can be sent to the Canadian Cancer
Society.
