Earl J. Roithner

Earl J. Roithner of Library, born July 1, 1937, died with family by his side Sunday morning, February 9, 2025. Earl was a retired salesman. He was a hard worker who never called off sick in the 38 years he worked for Frito-Lay. He was an avid hunter and fisherman who enjoyed selling at the flea markets and finding a great deal at yard sales. He enjoyed watching football, baseball and hockey, collecting memorabilia, going to the casino, gun bashes, looking for golf balls, spending time with family and lived life by his moto “You have to take everything day by day.” Earl made friends easily and loved to carry on a conversation. He was able to connect with everyone he spoke with which is what made him a great salesman.
