Their family later welcomed his little sister Gloria. He attended elementary and High School at the Catholic School. Following graduation he attended the Preston Continuation School for 2 years taking a commercial course and graduated with distinction. After High School he worked in construction and for the railway. He also played juvenile hockey and at 17 was approached by the Detroit Red Wings to try out for their team. This dream was not to be fulfilled however, as the Second World War broke out on September 3, 1939 on his 18th birthday. He volunteered to join the military and served in the Royal Canadian Air Force in Quebec and was then stationed in Great Britain through 1946 as an air frame mechanic. Before his overseas assignment, Paul met Jean Thaler while roller skating at the local Kitchener rink. Jean began witnessing to him about her faith in Jesus Christ and when he was 21 he accepted Christ as his Saviour with Reverend Stuart Boehmer. Jean and Paul were married while he was on leave on August 2, 1943, in Toronto. They began a life long membership with Benton Street Baptist Church. Their first son, David, was born October 13, 1944. A year after the end of the war, Paul returned to Canada and the young family lived with Jean's parents, on Krug Street in Kitchener. Paul had 13 jobs during those first several months after his military service. His 14th job was with the Bell Telephone Company, which lasted for the next 34 years. Paul missed only one half day of work in all those years due to sickness. He was never once late for work. Paul demonstrated a work ethic that he passed on to his two sons - he was a man who faithfully provided for his family. His second son, Don who was supposed to be a Susan, was born on August 18, 1948 in the K.W. Hospital in Kitchener. Paul and his Father, Pierce, built their first house in Centre Ville, in the suburbs of Kitchener, where they lived from 1951 through 1953. "Paul Roth Obituary - Abbotsford, BC". 2021.
