    Notes:

    Eugen Huber

    Almost everyone in Berlin knew little, crippled Eugen Huber; everyone respected the polite boy, who was always ready with a friendly greeting, and everyone felt sorry for him because of his suffering. Since the fall, the boy had been ill and some time ago he was affected by dropsy. His condition became noticeably worse, and on Thursday evening, he was released by death.

    The deceased was a son of the painter and decorator, Mr. E. Huber, and reached the age of seventeen years. He had suffered all his life; he was once unsuccessfully operated upon for the removal of his hump; various illnesses affected him from time to time; he was however always cheerful and happy. Every Wednesday, when he picked up the "Journal", he always had a friendly greeting, in spite of all his bad luck.
    He was an obedient son to his parents, and led a very Christian way of life. On this point, his short life can serve most healthy boys as an example. He was fully conscious to the very end and his last words were:

    "Oh, Mama! Let me rest my head against you one more time.
    Mama, I'm going away, "Good-bye".


    Burial, on Saturday morning, followed a memorial service in the Catholic church here.

    Obituary for Gloria Matilda Mary Hellard (Roth)

    Passed away at Freeport Hospital Palliative Care in Kitchener, on August 19, 2019 after a one year difficult battle with ovarian cancer. She is survived by her nephew Donald Roth (Connie), niece Heather Bergsma (Ed), Marg Roth, several great nieces, great nephews and great great nieces and nephews.

    She was predeceased by her husband Eric Hellard in 1981, by her parents Pierce and Edith Roth and her brother Paul Roth in 2013. Also predeceased by both a niece and a nephew.

    Gloria was born in Cambridge (Preston) Ontario several years after the First World War. After high school graduation, she moved to Ottawa to pursue secretarial training and a post with the Civil Service in Ottawa, supporting the military. She married Eric in 1948 and they moved to London Ontario where Gloria worked at the military base where she served with distinction and was awarded many accolades over the years for her precise attention to detail and very caring and attentive people skills. After her retirement in 1988 following 45 years in the Civil Service, Gloria moved to Kitchener, Ontario to be closer to family.

    Gloria was active in her Parish Church, St Aloysius. In her retirement she also took up oil painting under the instruction of Michael Roth (no relation) and became accomplished in the art. Her artwork hangs in homes in Canada, Ireland and Italy to name a few. Gloria was a fabulous cook, baker, sewist, and enjoyed sharing her gifts with others. She loved to travel, especially to her favourite, Rome Italy.

    Gloria endeared herself to people great and small, all were important to her. She strove to make the world a better place by caring for others and serving them in any way she could. Most who knew her counted it a privilege to know her, she did indeed bring love to her fellow man. As a family we will miss her gentle nature and her sweet smile, but are comforted by the fact she is free from suffering and in the heavenly home she had anticipated.

    Special thank you to the staff of Trinity Village Studios, St Mary's Hospital Dr Russek and Freeport Hospital Grand River Terrace, 3 East, Dr. Schwarz and his team of caring Nurses, PSW's and support staff for making a difficult time bearable, for treating Gloria with kindness, respect and even love and for your dedication to making end of life a time for cherishing and celebrating the good memories of life.

    Eulogy of Paul Roth

    Paul was born Sept 3, 1921 at the family home on Queen Street, in Preston Ontario to Pierce and Edith Roth. 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.
