Mr Rochon was definitely one of the most unique and extraordinary people I've ever met. I HATED math in high school. It was my nemesis. He made it look so easy. I grew up down the street from him. My best friends parents were close to his and my best friend and I spent our senior spring break in NYC with Julie. Mr and Mrs Rochon always reminded me of a post card when they were walking, hand in hand, down the boardwalk. He was soft spoken and always seemed to have a smile on his face. Years after high school, I had to fine someone new to do my taxes. He was the one. He punched a few numbers and had it done in the blink of an eye. Our community is a little sadder without him. May he rest in peace. Love and prayers to his family and all who knew him.

He taught my boys who both continued thru college in Math classes. 1 is a computer engineer, the other holds a PhD in mathematics. After he retired, when I was riding my bike to work I would pass him walking to the gym in town. That was his warm-up and walking home afterward was his cool-down period.
Condolences to his wife Angela.

There are certain people in life that you meet by chance, and others who were always supposed to be there. Mr. and Mrs. Rochon were dear friends to my mom for my entire life. I can remember day trips with their family to the beach as kids, and days when Mr. and Mrs. Rochon would babysit me and my sister. As I got older, Mr. Rochon had the misfortune of having to teach me Trigonometry. I was completely out of my element and was floundering horribly. He was always encouraging and was willing to help me in any way he could. I’ll forever be grateful that my mom had such amazing friends and examples of kindness and goodness that I could learn from. My sincerest condolences to Mrs. Rochon, Jenny, Marc, and Julie and all of the Rochon family.

Such a sweet man, I met him at the Annual MEA-Retired meeting and sat with him and Angela. I remember how he looked out for Angela at the meeting and especially because I have a brother and my father named Louis. You will be missed by your MEA-Retired colleagues.

For Don and me, one of the great gifts of our lives has been Jen marrying Josh and the closeness we have shared with Angela and Lou and their beautiful family. From the first moment we met Angela and Lou more than a quarter century ago, we knew they were remarkable in their love, generosity, wisdom, joyfulness, devotion to family, integrity and so much else. What beautiful role models for all of us! We are beyond grateful for all our shared times - Christmases in Algonac, Seders in Wisconsin and Delaware, celebrations and special events in New York, vacations in Michigan at Porters Place and so many other memorable times together. Lou and Angela and their families have always welcomed us. Louis lived an incredible life and leaves an extraordinary legacy - both personal and professional. May his memory be a blessing.

All our Love, Don and Barbara Goldberg

Louie was the best oldest brother a sister could want. I idolize him as a smart, kind, gentle and fun man. I was the young girl who could proudly announce that MY BROTHER was the lifeguard who all the kids tried to outswim. MY brother who taught us about classical music by playing a recording of Peter and the Wolf at a sleepover. My brother who was the
friend of one of my highschool teachers because they had graduated together. Louie gave his littlest sister some street creds.

And among the gregarious and boisterous Rochons, I often saw him as stately and dignified. I attribute that to Angela's calming influence and his desire to be a man has good Angela thought he was. But hey, it could have been that the chaos in a high school math class had him so shell-shocked that nothing fazed him. 😉

I'm going to miss him but Dad has been waiting too long to have a debate with him about current events and Mum has the beef and dumplings ready. And
I know that our sister Sue is buttering the popcorn 🍿 and starting the movie.

Louis was a kind, thoughtful man and a true gentleman. He had a quiet love for learning that showed in his teaching, his interest in science, his walks with his wife, and learning. He lived his faith through the care and respect he showed to everyone around him.

Above all, Louis was devoted to his wife, Angela. He will be remembered not only for his intelligence, but for his gentle spirit, integrity, and the kindness he shared so freely. He will be deeply missed.

A real gift in my later life has been the chance to reconnect with high school classmates, among them Angela Andino Rochon. That was when I met Louis Rochon. It has been a privilege to know this
kind, gentle, intelligent, funny man who treated others with grace and patience. It was always a joy to visit, whether in Algonac or when he and Angela came to Atlanta, Georgia, to see their son Marc and daughter-in-law Mindy and family. Louis was a wonderful, warm person who is greatly missed.
