Arnold Roth, age 84, died at his Concord home on Friday, February 23, 2024. He was the husband for 60 years of Linda Roth.

Arnie was raised in Shaker Heights, Ohio. As a child and young man, he faithfully helped his mother, Blanche, with the family owned toy store business. During his early years, he would say his biggest joy came from the experiences he had at summer camp.

After receiving an undergrad from Lehigh University, Arnie continued his studies by earning an MBA in economics from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. While at college, he was a member of the ROTC program, which led to three years of service in the United States Air Force.

Arnie found his career path while working in a bank during the three years he resided in Los Angeles. It was there that he began to develop his knowledge as a Professional Investor, which culminated in a Senior Vice President position with Jennison Associates, based in Manhattan. Over the years, he took pride in assisting clients with their investments and pensions, though his specialty was bonds. A forty-year Concord resident, Arnie donated his professional expertise as an appointed member of the town's Retirement Board and an advisor to Jewish Family Services.

In his spare time, Arnie enjoyed the peace and creativity that came from gardening and tending to his property. He was a collector of steel soldiers, from ancient to modern era. Recently, he donated hundreds to enhance the collection at Brown University. He regularly played doubles tennis with Linda and a group of friends, striving to remain as active as possible in his later years.

In addition to his wife, survivors include his sister, Nessie, his daughter, Jessica Thomas and her husband Scott, his daughter-in-law, Marianne Roth, along with four grandchildren, Brendan and Ryan Thomas, and Ari and Kate Roth.

A private gathering will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Arnie's memory may be made to VNA Care Hospice , 100 Tradecenter Drive, Suite G-500, Woburn, MA 01801.

Arrangements are entrusted to Dee Funeral Home & Cremation Service of Concord.
