We are mourning the loss of our beloved Board member and loyal Monday morning volunteer, Gary Roth. Gary embodied the humble spirit of our mission to serve those in need. He was Board Treasurer from November 2020 until his recent illness prevented him from serving this year. In addition to his faithful commitment to the Kitchen, Gary was a member of the St. Joseph of Arimathea Society, the indigent burial ministry run by Catholic Charities, and was a board member of the local Junior Diabetes Research Foundation.
Visitation will be held at the St. Matthews Ratterman Funeral Home on Monday, June 22, from 4:00 - 8:00 pm. The funeral Mass will be at noon on Tuesday, June 23 at Our Lady of Lourdes Church.
Rest in peace, good and faithful servant.
