Richard Louis Roe, 74, of Summerfield, Florida went home to be with his Lord on January 13, 2021 at Ocala Regional Hospital. He was born on June 3, 1946, the son of the late James and Rose Marie Roe in Plainwell, Michigan and moved to Maryland as a teenager. He graduated from Howard High in 1964. After spending 4 years in the Air Force, he went to work for Verizon where he received numerous diplomas and awards over his 40 year career. Retiring as a Service Manager in 2003, he and his wife moved to Florida in 2005. Once settled into the Del Webb community, he then volunteered to be President of the Ocklawaha Community of Gratitude Food Pantry for 5 years. Rich loved to hunt and fish and learned to play golf once arriving in Florida. Wood carving, cruising and country music were just a few of his passions in life. He was a member of the American Legion for 41 consecutive years.
Richard is survived by his wife, Linda, of 28 years and his three daughters, Heather Roe Shrieves and her spouse, Greg, Bethany Roe, and Ashley Roe. He also has two grandchildren and one great-grandchild. His siblings include Jim Roe and Laura Roe Hutchison of Pennsylvania and numerous nieces and nephews.
Richard was a kind, loving, and gentle man who enjoyed his family and friends. He will be greatly missed and live forever in our hearts.
