Harold Eugene Roth Jr.

1931 - 2023

Harold Eugene Roth Jr., 91, a resident of Vienna MD, passed away on January 2, 2023, after a long battle with cancer. He was born on April 13, 1931, in Northampton, PA, and raised in Whitehall, PA. After he graduated from Whitehall High School in 1949, Hal joined the United States Air Force and proudly served during the Korean War in Japan.

After returning home, he attended and graduated from Muhlenberg College with a degree in Social Studies and Biology. He then moved to Glen Burnie, MD to raise his family and teach U.S. History. He continued his education and earned his Masters in Education from the University of Maryland. Then he served as the Coordinator of Instruction in Anne Arundel County and was Vice Principal of Chesapeake High School.

Hal's true loves were writing, photography, wildlife viewing, and adventure. He loved the Eastern Shore of Maryland and could often be found taking pictures of birds, deer, wild ponies, and sunsets. Hal also loved to travel out west and documented his adventures with his camera.

He is survived by his son, Scott (Bonnie) Roth; his daughters, Robin Hays (Wes Norton) and Lynn Tarango; and two grandchildren, Bryan Hays (Heather Phillips) and Laura Tarango.
