Note: William Joseph Roache and his family moved from Australia to Hong Kong in the early 1960s. He was employed as an Agronomist, and his job took him out into the Chinese countryside.

After moving to the United States, he and his family retired to a horse farm in Rutherfordton, North Carolina where he lived surrounded by his beloved objects.
