Sharon Rigby posted a condolence
I am so sadden to hear of the passing of Joe Sr, such a wonderful, gentle, spirit. Perhaps you may find solace in this poem by Mary Elizabeth Frye as I have: Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on the snow. I am the sunlight on the ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die.

Warren Comeau Jr. posted a condolence
Joe Roper Sr. had a tremendous and exceptional pride in his family; this he and Auline have bestowed solidly on their children and on their grandchildren. I will always remember the gleam in his eye when we gathered. He was strong, fair, determined, and was never afraid to take a risk. We could all take a page from his book; he was truly a gift. As the Roper family wheel turns, his legacy will definitely live on. God bless all of you. Warren Jr.

Dear Aunt Auline and family, we were so saddened by Uncle Joe's passing. He was such a good man, hard working and dependable. I know how much he loved his family and was so proud of all of them. I was so glad that we got to see him at your anniversary celebration in August. He looked so good and seemed to enjoy every minute. I think heaven must be rejoicing to receive another angel. I love you, Aunt Auline, and want you to know that you are always in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless and keep you and comfort your soul. You are so blessed to have such wonderful children, I know they will take care of you.....please let them do that. Love you always, Joy

dear Noella, I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. I know how important family is to you, so I know your heart must be heavy. The many times during high school that I spent in your house give me wonderful memories of a happy loving family, and it takes pretty special people to raise so many kids who all turned out to be really great people. I will thinking of you and your family in this time of sorrow. please give Patty a hug for me.

I was sad to learn the news about Joe. He was a wonderful person. I got to know him when he came in for his radiation treatments. With our rhyming last names I soon became 'Soper' and he became 'Roper'. I will miss his humour and his smile. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
