ROTH, Terry J. - Age 81, of Flushing, passed away at home on January 13, 2022, after a full life of family and fishing.

Terry was born October 23, 1940, to Blume and Elleen Roth in Flint.  After graduating from Flint Northern High School, he proudly served in the U.S. Navy. He loved telling people stories about his time in the service.  After returning to his hometown of Flint, he married Ruth Ham, to whom he was wed for 37 years before she passed away in 2002.  Terry first worked at Roth Electric Supply Company, a family business.  He later became a Journeyman Electrician and worked for several local builders.

Terry was an avid fisherman throughout his life and was always ready with a good story and a cup of decaf. He never missed an opportunity to challenge his grandchildren during the current episode of Jeopardy. Terry took pride in his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren; and would drive to Ohio and Indiana to see their milestones. “Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry”.-Mark Twain
