William John Rothar
( August 12, 1952 - September 8, 2017 )
Mr. William John “Bill” Rothar, age 65, Stanley, NC died Friday, September 8, 2017.
A memorial service will be held 7:00 p.m. Friday September 15, 2017 at Denver Baptist Church, Denver, NC; with Rev. Dan Sessa and Rev. Ken Furches officiating. The family will receive friends from 6:00 p.m until 7:00 p.m. at the church prior to the service.
Bill Rothar was born on August 12, 1952 in Bay Shore NY, and was the son of the late William Henry Rothar and Joan Marie Hartmann Rothar. He worked as a Meat Cutter and Fresh Specialist for BJ’s Wholesale club until he retired in 2015.
Bill is survived by his wife of 45 years, Debbie Rothar of Stanley, NC; three daughters, Jessica L Feldman and husband Dario of Florida, Tanya L Bowser and husband Jay of Florida, and Diana M Fernandez and husband Justin of Arizona; one son, Russell Henry Rothar and his wife Megan of Georgia; one sister Cathy Callahan and husband Jimmy of Pennsylvania; eight grandchildren Dylan Krebs, Joshua Feldman, Kirin Feldman, Katlynne Feldman, Samuel Krebs, Chase Rothar, James Bowser III, and Amberlynn Rothar; and two great grandchildren, Desiree DiPersio and Mason Feldman.
Bill loved the Lord and was an active member at Denver Baptist Church. He had a love for his family, travel, and playing guitar. He had a great sense of humor and a great sense of adventure, even moving from New Jersey to Colorado because he saw a John Denver special on TV. He was most often found with a guitar in his hands and singing a song from his heart. He loved singing with the church praise team, and a country western band in his younger years, his songs touched the hearts of all who had the pleasure to listen. He loved spending time with his children and grandchildren, and would often take them on trips around the country. He was very involved with his children’s activities, rarely missing a game or practice, and was always there to cheer on the entire team. He loved ice cream, after the service there will be one last scoop for Bill.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Denver Baptist Church in memory of Bill Rothar for Celebrate Recovery, 6917 Forest Hills Drive, Denver NC 28037.
