Roher, a longtime partner at Borden Ladner Gervais and a leading figure in education law, died in Toronto on April 23, 2026, after a battle with cancer, at the age of 71, his family said. A third-generation member and, at the time of his death, president of Holy Bloom Temple, Toronto’s historic Reform synagogue, Roher was remembered in law offices, classrooms and pews as a man whose professional excellence was matched by enthusiasm for community life.
