Mervin Roth
Tribute
Merv Roth, aged 92, passed away peacefully on December 11th, 2025. He will be missed by his devoted wife Glad (Gladys), married 70 years and his son Brad. He was predeceased by his son Gregory.
Merv was born in Mornington Twp and spent his early years in Ontario as an electronic technician followed by employment at Hallman Organs, Kitchener. He sold pipe and electronic organs. He had a musical aptitude. He was still playing his two manual Lowrey organs almost daily in his last years.
He then formed M.L. Roth Real Estate Ltd. as broker/owner which he held for 28 years.
Merv and Glad moved to their home on Vancouver Island in 2006.
Merv was always very active with many hobbies. He created a very large model railroad display in his basement followed by several other projects.
His passion was flying his Bellanca Viking aircraft which gave him great joy.
Merv travelled the world with his wife Glad. He was blessed with many wonderful friends and memories.
A celebration of life will be held later at Arbutus Ridge as well as a service to be held in Ontario.
A donation to the Mennonite Central Committee in Abbottsford or Waterloo, Ontario may be made in his memory.
