Ralph Roth

Ralph R. Roth, 87, passed away peacefully at his home in Danielsville, Moore Township, while surrounded by loving family on Monday, August 5, 2024. He was the husband of Mary A. (Barrall) Roth. Ralph and Mary celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary on July 11.

Born in Allentown, Ralph was a son of the late Norman J. and Jennie T. (DeRhone) Roth. Following his graduation from Northampton High School in 1955, he honorably served in the United States Navy which included the Vietnam era. He received the honor of The Chapel of the Four Chaplains which stands as a sacred testament to the enduring spirit of selfless sacrifice and interfaith cooperation. A talented designer and carpenter, Ralph was a well-known and successful general contractor for more than 50 years. Throughout his lifetime of service and dedication to his community, Ralph was actively engaged in Boy Scouts for 50 years, serving more than 20 years as a Scoutmaster who had the honor of four sons who made Eagle Scout. Ralph continued his service in the Boy Scouts as a District Commissioner with Minsi Trail Council for more than 30 years, and he was a member of the Bath Area Jaycees in the 1960s. Ralph was an avid hunter and fisherman, who enjoyed the outdoors, birdwatching and wildlife. The cabin at Promised Land State Park was his home away from home, a place where he and Mary shared countless cherished memories of hosting cooking parties with family and friends and entertaining many friends playing long marathons of cribbage and always coming out on top. He shared his passion for outdoors by teaching programs on dutch oven cooking, campfire building and preparing meals on swinging grill or in foil packs.
