RICHARD ROQUE JR.

Richard Roque, 76, passed away at home on Monday, June 2, 2025. He was the son of the late Dr. Richard Roque and Dolores Fernandez Roque.

He is survived by his loving wife, Elizabeth "Liz" Roque; his sisters, Renee, Denise, and Michelle; along with aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and many dear friends.

Rich was a proud veteran who honorably served his country in both the United States Marine Corps and the Navy Seabees during the Vietnam War.

He spent most of his career working for PA Electric Company in Philadelphia before retiring to the White Haven area. Never one to sit still for long, he continued working for many years at Paradise Steam in the Poconos.

Rich was a generous man with a big heart. After retirement, he could often be seen lending a helping hand throughout White Haven—offering support to neighbors, caring for animals, and stepping in wherever he was needed. He loved gardening, and was known for cooking elaborate, delicious meals for those he cared about.

He was a skilled welder, a talent he enjoyed in his spare time, and a devoted fan of cartoon especially Betty Boop. Rich also cheered faithfully for the Philadelphia Phillies and Eagles, and he also loved watching the Super Bowl, no matter who was playing.

Above all, Rich loved his family deeply. His warmth, humor, and boundless generosity will be remembered by all who were lucky enough to know him.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Patrick's Church, White Haven on Monday, June 9, 2025 at 11:00 am with Reverend Michael Kloton officiating. Interment was held in Indiantown Gap Cemetery, 60 Indiantown Gap Rd., Annville.

Friends are invited to join the family for a visitation from 10:00 am until Mass time at the church.

Arrangements are under the direction of the Lehman Family Funeral Service, Inc., White Haven.
