MR. HENRY LESLIE ROCHE

We  are  pleased  to  introduce yet another  great  personality, a Barkurian  who was instrumental in uniting Barkurians residing in Mumbai  under one umbrella called "St. Peter's Association, Barkur (Mumbai)" and organizing many social as well as cultural programmes in Mumbai, therby highlighting the name of Barkur in Mumbai.

Born on 9th  July 1942 at Barkur as the eldest son of Late Mr. Abundias Roche  and  Late Mrs. Piad Roche in a family of 10  children (Mr. Henry Roche, Mr. Walter Roche, Mr. Victor Roche, Mrs. Heralda Bothello, Mrs. Treasa Pinto,  Mr. Julias Roche, Mrs.   Alice  Sequeira,  Mrs. Gladys Pereira,  Mrs. Pramila D'Silva and Mrs. Jenevieve Gonsalves).

Mr. Henry  Roche  had  his  primary education at Moodahadu Primary School ,  Pandeshwar,  Sastan.  He joined National High School , Barkur for continuation of his secondary education and got his . B. A. degree from Lingaraj University , Belgaum . After  completing  his  education he selected teaching as his  profession  but  could  not continue for more time, as he jumped to  business  at an early  age of 30 years, i.e. in the year 1972 itself.   As a successful transporter he earned name and fame in this line and  helped  many  to  earn  their daily bread. His contacts, leadership qualities, helping nature were mainly accountable for his success.

Apart from  business  he  involved himself in many social service  activities.  He  is  the   PRESIDENT  of  St. Peter's Association, Barkur  (Mumbai).  In his leadership the group is marching ahead and instrumental in uniting Barkurians residing in Mumbai and is  helping in many ways to students studying in various schools of Barkur. This year they have donated uniforms to the students of  Mary knoll  Higher   Primary  School , Barkur (from std. 3  to std. 7). St.  Peter's  Association  has  also sponsored an English teacher  to  the school.  The  people  of Barkur are ever greatful to the Association.

Mr. Roche is happily married to Mrs. Ida Roche in the year 1973 and blessed with two sons Mr. Rohan and Mr. Russel. We on behalf of the Barkurians wish Mr. H L Roche  and his family every success in the days to come.
