Roy L. Aach (9/16/1928 – 3/22/2014) - St. Louis native, Roy L. Aach, was born to glory on March 22, 2014. At the time of his death, Mr. Aach was living at the Willow Care Nursing Home in Willow Springs, Missouri. He was 85 years old, and was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Beverly Wade Aach, on July 9, 2013.
Mr. Aach was the owner of Roy L. Aach & Associates, a consulting engineering firm established in Clayton, MO in 1967, and later located in Florida and finally, in DeSoto, Missouri. He completed high school in three years, and graduated Washington University School of Engineering at the age of 18 in 1947, being at that time, one of the youngest men to have ever graduated from that prestigious school. His degree was in mechanical engineering, and he was a Professional Engineer in over 40 states, overseeing building projects all over the country, including doing part of the electrical design work for the Museum of Westward Expansion at the St. Louis Gateway Arch. He was involved in multiple local hospital expansions, including Missouri Baptist Hospital and St. John's Mercy Medical Center, along with engineering work at Lambert Airport, other airports, schools, temples, churches and shopping centers.
Roy was an avid reader and a very talented musician. He was known for his proficiency on the piano, often entertaining family and friends. In the 1940's, he was hired to be a pianist for the Tommy Dorsey band from a tape his mother took to an audition, but he turned the job down, deciding instead to pursue his engineering career.
Roy was a lifelong sports lover – and a passionate fan of St. Louis teams: the Blues, the "Big Red" football Cardinals, the St. Louis Rams and the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team. He passed that love on to his kids.
Mr. Aach was a member of the Village Lutheran Church in Ladue, Missouri, and St. Armand's Key Lutheran Church in Sarasota, Florida.
Survivors include three children born of Mr. Aach's marriage to Celeste Weinstein (Molos)(d., 8/22/1970): Robyn Green (husband, Martin) of Milton, Vermont, Randall Aach (wife, Sherrie) of Chesterfield, MO, and Karen Lamberg of Maryland Heights, MO, along with two much-loved step-daughters from his 35+ year marriage to Beverly Aach (d., 7/9/2013): Bev Schuette (husband, Art) of Hartford, CT, and Judith Wilson (husband, Don) of Mountain View, MO. Mr. Aach was the proud grandfather of Melanie Lamberg, Natalie Aach, Tim Wilson, Jennifer Acheson, Jennifer Green Heinritz, and Jonathan Aach Green; he was a loving son, brother, great-grandfather and great-great grandfather.
Private burial will be at Coldwater Cemetery, 15290 Old Halls Ferry Rd., Florissant, Missouri 63033.
