I have often wondered about Bud! We work together at the water company and I knew mark whom I have not seen in years so I got curious and Googled and now I have discovered Bud passed!

Robert Roth was a long time member of Holy Spirit Catholic Church and presently a member of Our Mother of Sorrows Catholic Church. He was a navy veteran of WW II serving in the North Atlantic on the USS Fred C. Stebbins Liberty Ship. After returning from the war he worked as an IBM operator with P. Lorillard Tobacco Company. Soon afterwards he married Mary Ramona Rembold and raised five children. He was a devoted husband, wonderful father, a great brother-in-law, and was “Uncle Buddy” to numerous nieces and nephews.

He was a member of the Knights of St. John, and actively participated in the fundraising projects at St. Stephen Martyr and Our Mother of Sorrows Catholic Churches.
He was an avid hunter, lover of nature and wildlife, especially feeding and watching the birds. His hobbies included golf and metal detecting always looking for that hidden gold coin and elusive treasure. He was always ready to try his luck at Bingo and you definitely wanted him as your pinochle partner. He retired from the Louisville Water Company after 26 years.
We will always remember Dad (Bud) having a zest for life, a kind gentle soul devoted to his family, and his faith in God living each day to the fullest
