He is also preceded in death by his wife of 67 years, Jane Ritz Roehm, who was involved in all things he did and his brother Charles “Gene” Roehm. He was general manager of The Grand, Elks, and Indiana theatres after being hired temporarily for six weeks which turned into 41 years. He also worked with the Louisville theatres and met several movie stars including being in a parade with some to New Albany High School.
