Howard Sydney Rothman

Passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 30, 2025 at home in Atlanta, Georgia at the age of 89. He leaves behind his beloved and devoted wife of 43 years, Susan Rothman, and his children: Sheindl Rothman and Jack Rudnicki (Montreal, QC), Michael and Rhonda Rothman (Atlanta, GA), Karen and Murray Diamond (UK), Aviva and Clemens Reuter (Switzerland), Amy and the late Jeremy Rosenberg, DDS,(Atlanta, GA), and Joshua Rosenberg and Alison Fine (Boston, MA). He is also survived by 11 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren, by his sister and brother-in-law, Kay and Jack Wolofsky, nieces and nephews, and cousins. He was especially close to cousins Judy Schneiderman and Rhoda Sendel who describe him as ''the brother they never had.'' 

 Howard grew up in Montreal, caring son of the late Harry and Rose Rothman. He graduated in Civil Engineering from McGill University in 1958, winning the prestigious British Award Medal for Great Distinction. The construction company he co-founded fresh out of university, Secant, left its mark on the Montreal scene, notably the Peel, Champs de Mars, Laurier, Sauvé and Place d'Armes Metro stations. He wore his iron ring with pride. In Atlanta, Howard was a commercial real estate developer with a focus on multi-family homes and commercial buildings. He was a devoted husband and dad and an interested and caring ''Howie'' to his grandchildren. 

Howie was an optimistic and positive person, always ready to lend a hand. He was charming, complimentary and appreciative. He enjoyed travelling with Susan, duck hunting and fly fishing, weather watching, and comics and cartoons. 

 Howie will be deeply missed. We miss him already.
