Hi Marge
My name is Terry Roche and I am the son of one Patrick Joseph Roche (Paddy) who was born 18th September 1908 at Thurles in Tipperary Eire. He was an accomplished boxer and while in the USA won the Golden Gloves.
He married my Mother, Madge and the moved to Boxmoor near Hemel Hempstead. I was born 1939, had three sisters Freda 1942, Eileen 1945 and Denise 1948.
Dad never talked about his boxing days to me but I heard stories from his older friends.
If anyone can tell me more please do.
