Not sure what to say?

He was the most compassionate physician I ever worked with. 1975 I worked OB with him. Our patient didn´t want her baby , so he helped me adopt it. Unfortunately, the Mom changed her mind 2 days later and I had to give the child back. He felt so bad for me!!

Oh, my gosh. So much to say about this wonderful man who was my doctor for many, many years. He was kind and actually listened to me. He did research on issues that affected me and would then contact me. He delivered my daughter, Vanessa in 1981. I miss him very much. I must have been out of town when he passed, because I definitely would have gone to his Celebration of Life.

Dr. Roth was my family doctor for many, many years. He delivered my daughter later in life. He was also the doctor for my sisters. Until today, I never knew his life story. What an interesting man! He certainly was a wonderful doctor and always so kind. I miss him.

I knew your dad quite well. We met when I managed the pediatric practice of Doctor Alan MacFarlane and Doctor Mary MacFarlane. Doctor Roth was a fine man and I liked and respected him. He always told me that I wanted to change jobs that he would be happy to hire me. Sorry for your loss. I know it´s difficult to lose your father. He was a wonderful man and was always respectful to me.

I am very sad to read of the passing of our dear BBO bridge friend " bobrothak" we all began playing online bridge about 18 years ago....so many now no longer with us...Bob was a very smart , fun player..testy at times, but we all enjoyed his humour and concern for his BBO friends.... My Sympathy to Dr Bob's family.....Sincerely Christine M. MacCuish

We were the next door neighbors to the Roth family as their children grew up in the home my father built. My first job was babysitting for them. Later, when I was in college, Dr. Roth hired me to work part time in his medical office. They were great neighbors and friends to my family. In more recent years we visited and stayed with them in their AirBnB when we visited Fairbanks with our sons or I came back for a high school reunion. I always cherished the time I got to visit with Bob and...

Mardee and Family, When we received your note of Bob's passing a flood of fond memories washed over us, we grew up attending Jr High, High School, and College together. Football, wrestling, hunting with Bob's dad around the Hot Lake property great memories! Mardee worked for my father at the Liberty Theater in La Grande while in College and dating Bob. When Bob and his family moved to Fairbanks, my Job took me there twice a year and we were able to catch up on our lives as old friends again....

To Mardee, Ben and all the Roth's, Molly and I join many others in sending you our condolences and best wishes at this difficult time. Bob was our family doctor for many years before his retirement. We knew we were in good hands, always, in his care. He did what he loved, where he loved doing it, with his family and friends. Rest is peace, Dr. Bob and thank you for your life.

What a great guy. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.
