We Remember
ROTH, Neal Joseph
—
Neal is finally at peace. After 36 years as one of Canada’s longest and most courageous dialysis survivors, at the age of 58, Neal went to be with the Lord. Neal lived for the joys of his life—his children and grandchildren: Jonathan Roth and Kerstin Roth (Adam Gray) and dearest Ever and Isla. Son of Katherine (deceased) and Balser Roth, he is survived by his sisters: Cindy Roth (Kevin Berry), Angie (Rob) McIntosh; brother Glen (Heidi) Roth, nieces and nephews: Kelsey and Kieran McIntosh, Julia and Karly Roth, Sean and Cole Berry; and numerous cousins in the Mendel, Trenn, Roth, Rehlinger, Solmer, and Byland families. Prayers will be recited on Friday September 7, 2012 at 7:30 pm at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, 839 Sutherland Ave, with a Funeral Mass also at church on Saturday, September 8, 2012 at 10:30 am. Interment to follow at Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery.

Dear Roth Family,
I am truly sorry for your loss. I knew Neal from servicing his dialysis machine and always enjoyed the time we spent talking about family and his passion, snowmobiling. The community is a sadder place since Neal left us. He was an amazing man who’s memory and knowledge will live on throughout the dialysis community. My sympathy is with all of you at this time.
Sincerely,
Don Knight
Previous Service Tech with Gambro.
Sorry about your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. God bless. Look forward to seeing you when you return to the north shore.

I will miss Neal’s upbeat personality, his zest for life, and the love of his family. He was an inspiration to us all in health care – throughout dialyis and transplantation he was always positive – patients and staff alike have learned a lot from Neal. He will be sadly missed but never ever forgotten.
