David Thomas Rouch
BERLIN — David Thomas Rouch was called home on Sept. 24, 2018, at the age of 78 after a courageous battle with cancer.
He was the son of the late Harry and Thelma Rouch of Barberton, Ohio.
David Thomas Rouch
Upon graduating from Barberton High School, Dave combined his love of travel and engineering with service in the United States Air Force, maintaining airborne navigation radar systems before obtaining his BSEE from the University of Akron in 1966. A master’s degree from The Catholic University of America followed in 1970, leading to a distinguished 32-year career at the National Security Agency and several years of work at Harris Corporation, insisting to anyone who asked that all he did all day was trade baseball cards and chew bubblegum. During those scholarly years, he finally convinced Patricia Sue Mitchell of Akron, Ohio to marry him and began their adventures from Hawaii mountaintops to Tokyo gyoza shacks to European cruises with 50 countries in between.
Dave delighted in mountain top cabins, Duke basketball, and World War II books (at times enjoying all three at once), but he was happiest just being with his family. He will be remembered for his analytical mind, lightning wit, ferocious sense of humor and steadfast faith.
He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Patricia; son Michael (wife Sara) of Ellicott City, Md.; daughter Amber (husband Harold) of Mystic, Conn.; and brother Larry (wife Mary Ann, son Harry, daughter Cindy) of Barberton, Ohio. As grandpa to Adam, Matthew, Ryan, David, and William, he delighted in teaching the next generation that donuts were God’s perfect food, that “Monster Mash” is early rap music canon, that Star Trek, Star Wars and Schwarzenegger deserved reverence, and that he was the best at pancakes and spaghetti sauce.
The family would like to give special thanks to Dr. Ngaiza, Dr. Daniels, and the nurses and staff at Peninsula Regional Medical Center, and to Drs. Webster and Murphy at The Johns Hopkins University. We know his “Chemo-sabe” appointment outfit was his favorite, but the electric blue mohawk was yours.
There will be no viewing as his wife refuses to honor his request to be lashed to a wooden raft and set ablaze on the open ocean at sunset, Viking-style. Instead, a celebration of his life will take place at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 20, at Buckingham Presbyterian Church in Berlin. In lieu of flowers, friends and even foes are encouraged to donate to Coastal Hospice & Palliative Care, https://coastalhospice.org.
He lived long and prospered.
