Robert Francis Roth
December 30, 1933 - September 21, 2021
Cornwall, NY
Robert Francis Roth of Cornwall, NY passed away peacefully at his home on September 21, 2021, surrounded by his loving family members. He was 87 years old. Bob was born to William and Emma Roth on December 30, 1933, in Cliffside Park, NJ and moved to Beaver Dam Lake at the age of 12 where he resided until his death. He was predeceased by his siblings, Wilbur Roth, Harold Roth and William Roth.
Bob married Virginia Floriano in 1957. He is survived by his wife of 64 years; his children, Frances Roth Yatto (Thomas), James Roth (Jennifer) and Roberta O'Rourke (Timothy). He is predeceased by his son, William Roth. He is survived by 8 grandchildren, Jill Colacicco (Patrick), Michael O'Rourke (Alexa), Danielle Fox (Zachary), William Roth (Jennifer), R.J. Roth, Joseph O'Rourke (fiancée Brittany Brennan), Catherine Roth, and John Roth, a great granddaughter and numerous loving cousins, nieces and nephews.
A lifelong union supporter, Bob was a member of Locals 269 and 373 of the Plumber and Steamfitters Union since 1951. He served as Recording Secretary and Business Manager to Local 269 for 20 years, and as a Trustee of Locals 269 and 373 since 1960. He was proud for establishing the pension fund for members of Local 269 for whom he cared deeply.
Bob was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church since 1945 serving as a lectern and a lifelong usher, as well as a member of the Knights of Columbus, Council No. 5890. As a lifelong resident of Beaver Dam Lake, he served as water superintendent for the Beaver Dam Lake Water Corporation for over 25 years and a member of the Board of Protection District for over 20 years. He also served in the National Guard and as a Constable for the Town of Cornwall.
An avid fisherman and boater, some of Bob's most enjoyable times were spent on the water. Bob took great pride in his blueberry and raspberry bushes which he nurtured with great care. He loved gardening and hunting, but one of his greatest pleasures was leading his wife Ginny around the dance floor where they often caused others to simply stop, watch, then applaud.
Bob was a warm, loving family man of tremendous faith. All who knew him loved him and he never uttered an ill word towards anyone. He will be sorely missed.
Visitation is scheduled for Friday, September 24, 2021, from 4 to 8 P.M. at David T. Ferguson Funeral Home, 20 North St, Washingtonville, NY 10992. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Saturday, September 25, 2021, at 10 A.M. at St. Mary's Church, 42 Goshen Ave, Washingtonville, NY 10992 with internment to follow.
In lieu of flowers, it is requested that donations be made to the St. Mary's Building Fund, St. Mary's Church, 42 Goshen Ave, Washingtonville, NY 10992.
