I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Roebucks passing. My wife and I owned Jumpin Jave Cafe in Melbourne across from Holmes Hospital and Mr. Roebuck was a ‘regular’. He and I became good friends; he was sort of a mentor. I also owned an import company for machined parts then, after Jumpin Java, worked at DRS Technologies in management for 12 years. Throughout the 20 years I knew him, his advice and guidance were incalculable. I moved to NY for an employment opportunity in late 2017 and was just thinking of him, hoping I would not find this notice. He lived a great life and was the true embodiment of a great American. My good friend Mr. Roebuck will be in my prayers.

Mr. Roebuck, I never had the opportunity to meet you but fate brought your Son Greg and me together in support of the Towers of Freedom 9/11 Military Monument in NYC.
This monument is all-encompassing and includes the brave members of NYPD (New York City Police Department), FDNY (Fire Department of New York City), and a host of other local, state, & federal LE agencies.
The anniversary of 9/11 is coming up fast. It was a tough time for me as I was present that day along with my fellow LE, EMS and military personnel. In the recent week, I was overwhelmed by the large magnitude of tasks I had to complete for the upcoming 9/11 ceremony.
In sitting with your Son Greg one evening he presented me with a GUARDIAN ANGEL COIN to carry for Good Luck and Support. He told me this was the same coin you carried every day in your wallet. I cannot tell you how important this Angel Coin is to me and how it has energized me! Greg went a step further as part of our friendship and support of the organization and gave me a large supply of these GUARDIAN ANGEL COINS. I will take these coins to the 9/11 ceremony and present them to our base.
I also am proud to report we have a Memorial Block bearing your name in process at this time. Once completed your name will be part of the Towers of Freedom 9/11 Military Monument. We appreciate the service of our World War II veterans, and all others who served in the conflicts that followed. Veterans like yourself and others have protected and preserved our freedom, our way of life, and other rights this great nation was founded on so many years ago.
In learning about your memorial headstone at the national cemetery in FL Greg stated he used the phrase ”Forever in Our Hearts”. These four words have special significance to me and I was overwhelmed when Greg told me what they meant to him as well.
May God Bless you and your late wife, Jo Ella. Be Well and know you are joining others who have a special place at the Towers of Freedom 9/11 Military Monument. Best Regards now and forever.
NYPD Detective Thomas Smith (Retired) Co-Founder of the Towers of Freedom 9/11 Military Monument. This also includes LT. Frank Haskell, FDNY (Retired) and Co-Founder.

Working in the health care field, I get to meet amazing people ever day. Myron Roebuck will definitely stand out among those I have met. He was a man of Stellar accomplishments in his life time. The man I got to know was Honest , Loyal, Wise, and yes he had very high expectations! But those who knew him respected him for all of those qualities. At the end of the day , the things that mattered most to him were his beloved late wife JoElla and his son Greg! We shared many conversations about life, politics,and just every day things ! At the end of our conversations he would reach out put his hand over mine and say thank you for listening. He was a true reminder of why I do what I do every day! I feel honored to have had the chance to get to know him in the short amount of time we had. He will always have a place in my heart and will be missed….
Rest in peace Myron Roebuck and Thank You for Listening……

I first met Myron Roebuck after joining Radiation, Inc. in 1956. However, that name was rarely used in the halls of Radiation. He was known simply as Buck. I think his name was very fitting for the Radiation culture, that was a “can do” culture. So to “buck” the tide, go beyond existing technology and believe the impossible only takes a little longer fit him. The life of Buck represents this attitude.
Buck was a key marketing guy in the pursuit of a contract with Boeing to supply telemetry equipment for the Minuteman Missile. In 1958 I was assigned to prepare the financial proposal and came more in contact with Buck. Although, he left the company before Radiation was awarded the final contract, in 1959, he played an important role in achieving the most significant contract in the company’s history. We were fortunate Buck returned to Radiation/Harris in later years.
I always appreciated Buck’s dry wit. I shared one such “tongue in cheek”during the memorial service: About 5 years ago I went to the Health First lab facility on Gateway Drive for blood tests. After obtaining and assigned number I entered the waiting area and noticed Buck seated by himself. A short time after seated beside him, he said “I like to come here”. To myself I thought what a strange thing to say about a place to prod and stick you. When I ask why, he said “everyone around looks older.” Classic Buck.
During the later years, Buck loved to recall the good old days and expressed his great love of family and the love of Jo Ella for the so many years. I know he was very grateful of son Greg to care for him so long.
As a veteran of the “greatest generation” in his service in the Air Force, I say WELL DONE GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT.

I am Pastor J.B. Kump, US Air Force Retired and the following are words I delivered yesterday afternoon at a memorial service for the Roebuck family at Cape Canaveral National Cemetery.
“On behalf of the family and a grateful nation, I welcome you all this afternoon as we gather in memory of and thanksgiving for the life of Myron Phillip Roebuck. Born in Logan County, Ohio on July 15, 1924 he died on Friday, July 19th, 2019 at the age of 95. We will also be recognizing Myron’s wife of 66 years; Jo Ella Roebuck who was born in 1929 in Virginia. Jo Ella passed away on April 4th, 2018.
The Roebuck’s are survived by sons Gary and Gregory Roebuck and Myron’s sister, Carol Newman who lives in Kansas.
Myron, or “Buck” as he was know by those who knew and loved him, started out on the family farm in Ohio, but life and times drew him into a major world conflict, took him through a challenging career of leadership, a lengthy and fruitful marriage and adventures and challenges many can only dream of. Today Buck will rest with his life’s partner, the accomplished tennis player, mother and sports instructor, Jo Ella Roebuck.
Let us give thanks for their lives . . .
Scripture John 17:24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
The words from scripture today are, of course, written in red in many editions – they were spoken by Jesus Christ during his life and ministry on earth.
These words provided Buck and Jo Ella, and by extension, you and I, with encouragement and comfort. It is Jesus’ will that all will be with Him through eternity and that we all see His glory. It is because of Christ that His people; those who believe in Him and trust in Him with their lives, have eternal life with him.
It is fitting that we are here at Cape Canaveral National Cemetery for this ceremony and it is in recognition of and gratitude for Buck’s service in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II in the 9th Air Force. It was the 9th that participated in the Normandy invasion and took part in the drive that carried the Allies across France and culminated in victory over Germany in May 1945. Buck’s sacrifices defending our nation in uniform are the reason those honors were presented at the beginning of this service and the justification for the dedication of the resting place Myron and Jo Ella will occupy here.
During World War Two, Myron risked his life in the defense of our nation. That’s been a long time ago and many of us may not know or have forgotten what those times were like and what kind of sacrifices those who served made.
In 1998 newsman Tom Brokow wrote a book about Myron and Jo Ella and those from their generation who served and supported those who served in the Second World War. He Called it The Greatest Generation. This is how Brokow described the veteran Buck would become and this unique generation.
“These men and women came of age in the Great Depression, when economic despair hovered over the land like a plague. They had watched their parents lose their business, their farms, their jobs, and their hopes.
They had learned to accept a future that played out one day at a time. Then, just as there was a glimmer of economic recovery, war exploded across Europe and Asia.
When Pearl Harbor made it irrefutably clear that America was not a fortress, this generation was summoned to the parade ground and told to train for war. They left their ranches in Sully County, South Dakota, their jobs on the main street of Americus, Georgia, they gave up their place on the assembly lines in Detroit and in the ranks of Wall Street, they quit school or went from cap and gown directly into uniform.
“They answered the call to help save the world from the two most powerful and ruthless military machines ever assembled: instruments of conquest in the hands of fascist maniacs.
“They faced great odds and a late start, but they did not protest. At a time in their lives when their days and nights should have been filled with innocent adventure, love, and the lessons of the workaday world, they were fighting, often hand to hand, in the most primitive conditions possible, across the bloodied landscape of France, Belgium, Italy, and Austria.
They fought their way up a necklace of South Pacific islands few had ever heard of before and made them a fixed part of American history – islands with names like Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal, and Okinawa. They were in the air every day, in skies filled with terror, and they went to sea on hostile waters far removed from the shores of their homeland.
“When the war was over, the men and women who had been involved, in uniform and in civilian capacities, joined in joyous and short-lived celebrations, then immediately began the task of rebuilding their lives and the world they wanted. They were mature beyond their years, tempered by what they had been through, disciplined by their military training and sacrifices. They married in record numbers and gave birth to another distinctive generation, the Baby Boomers. They stayed true to their values of personal responsibility, duty, honor and faith.”
As remarkable as Myron Roebuck’s service in World War 2 was. And as much of a contribution his life was to the accomplishments of the Greatest Generation, there was much more to this couple’s life for us to celebrate today.
These two American’s exemplify their generation as they both became key members of their community, accomplishing much in their professional careers and raised a family that continues to make its mark.
Jo Ella was a powerful athlete who used her considerable tennis expertise to train others, some of whom became accomplished in their own right.
Myron Roebuck returned from the war and earned college degrees at Bowling Green State University in accounting and Law. He became an accomplished leader in the aerospace industry in world class companies such as Dynatronics, Radiation, Inc. and the Harris Corporation.
Like his wife, Buck was also an athlete in his youth. His sports were golf and baseball. He made the final cut for the Brooklyn Dodgers Training Camp and played golf with names like Arnold Palmer.
Buck and Jo Ella contributed much to their community, their family and their nation.
It is fitting their earthly remains will rest together here at Cape Canaveral National Cemetery.

Greg: So sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I have read Tom Brokaw’s book, and your father (and mine) were truly the greatest generation that saved our freedoms and our way of life. It was a blessing that he had a loving son to be by his side as his health failed and at his departure from this life. I would love to hear more about his life if you have time to give me a call.

We had no idea until this morning. So sad to learn about our friend Buck. Our deepest sympathy to the family on the passing of your loved one and our special, kind, friend. We cherish our great memories with Buck and will never forget him.
Our family is forever grateful for his service to our country. My husband Thomas was so grateful they took him in to join their coffee visits on Saturday mornings at the Bagel shop & sometimes McD’s. On a few occasions Evelyn Guarino and I (Daryl Talley) would visit their Saturday coffee get togethers. We always had a great time together.
Myron, and other World War II veterans to include non veterans of that era are true examples of the Greatest Generation.
Where there is such deep grief, it means there is also great love. That love last forever.
May Buck Rest In Peace. We will miss him.
Our deepest sympathy,
The Talley family,
Tom, Daryl, Amanda & Gage.

Greg, Marianna and I were so very sorry to hear about the passing of your father. It is very difficult to accept death when it takes one of our loved ones and even harder when our parents are taken away. I always try to look upon death as the last part of living in this world and our reward for living a good life, leaving pain and suffering behind, and going home to be with our Maker.
We only knew your father through our conversations with you. We knew he had a good and rewarding life. The Condolence notes told much of the story of of his life and of your love for both of your parents. You were a good son who was always there when they needed you right to the very end. May God bless you and your parents.

Greg and Gary. I was sad to hear of your mom’s passing a while back and now of your father’s passing.
Gary, I didn’t know you but Greg, I think you were a year or so older than me. My family lived on Shore View. I don’t know if you remember or not, but your mom was my tennis teacher and my mom was your dad’s secretary (maybe at Radiation but definitely at Harris, possibly at both.) I remember regularly hearing of Mr. Roebuck at our dinner table.
Bless you both. My condolences.
