John Bartholemew Rotherham
"Jack"
1950 - 1998
Grandpa Jack Rotherham was the pioneer that started generations of accountants thereafter, at Rotherham & Rotherham & Co. His wealth of knowledge and inviting charisma played a central role in running an accounting firm. The practice is honored by clients of his that continue to come in, three or more decades later.
Jack started doing accounting work while serving in the United States Army. Towards the end of the second World War, Jack left military service. With several mouths to feed, Jack decided to try his hand in public accounting. Year after year growing his client base, Jack found himself to be very successful in building strong relationships and friendships for years to come.

"Jack"
1972 - Present
Jack Rotherham is the patriarch that laid the foundation for what Rotherham & Rotherham & Co. is today. For well over 40 years, Jack has been the backbone of Rotherham & Rotherham & Co. To the majority of clients, if not all, Jack became not just their "tax guy", but a true friend indeed.
As a solider in the United States Navy, and after serving time in the Vietnam War, Jack came home with a entrepreneurial fire in his stomach. Jack went from being a salesman, to earning his nursing home administrators license, and came to be one of the organizational leaders of almost ten nursing homes in central Illinois. Years after, he decided to go into the accounting field. After securing his degrees, he decided to office with his father, and escalate the practice to what it is today.

At a very young age, Linda became a unique and devoted partner to her husband Jack. From lighting up the office with her smile, to being the voice of reason and fairness, Linda's presence and position in the company has set standards that will last until the end of time.
