Robert "Bob" F. Roth

ROTH, Robert Francis passed away on Wednesday, June 1st, 2022 at Kettering
Memorial Hospital. Bob was born on April 23, 1944 to Robert and Patricia Roth in
Dayton, Ohio. He was preceded in death by his parents and wife, Judy Roth.
Bob is survived by his sister Sharon (Larry) Davis, sister Michelle (Douglas) Guernsey as
well as many nieces and nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews and cousins who will
miss him dearly.
Bob retired from Miami University of Middletown after 35 years of service as a business
manager and worked seasonally for H&R Block for the past 10 years. He also enjoyed
part time work with Drees Homes and working in the bakery at Dorothy Lane Market.
He was a graduate of Chaminade (class of 1962) and enjoyed periodically having lunch
with some of his classmates. Bob and his wife Judy were active members of the
P.R.O.M.I.S.E.S. group out of Middletown, Ohio. They took several trips with this group
to Japan and hosted an exchange student from Japan for a year study at Springboro High
School. They were also active members of the National Campers and Hikers Association
with the state of Ohio and the Gophers Camping Club for many years and later just
enjoyed traveling and visiting many sites of interest. They never missed an opportunity to
pick up a souvenir or a bottle of wine and gathered Christmas presents throughout the
year to share with family and friends. Bob enjoyed a good meal and eating at unique
diners, bakeries, coffee shops and even food trucks. His gentle demeanor, talent for
telling a good story about his travels with Judy and contagious laugh could light up a
room and will be missed tremendously.
There will be a Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00AM on Thursday June 9, 2022, at St
Mary's of Assumption Catholic Church in Springboro, Ohio. The family will receive
friends from 10 - 10:45 AM at the church prior to Mass. In lieu of flowers, donations can
be made to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research in his name.
Arrangements entrusted to The Westbrock Funeral Home.
