David Root

Papa Duck was a part of our family and i have lost count of the times we laughed together and talked about serious things. He loved Samantha the moment he met her and welcomed her into his family instantly with the same warmth and love he did all of us. The world is a richer place because he was in our lives. We love you Dave.

spent a week on a cruise with Dave and his wife many, many years ago. Hard to get close to someone in a week, Dave was the exception. His winning smile was contagious. Fond journey to your next adventure

Gary and Aaron, I am so sorry to learn of the passing of your father. He has definitely left a lasting legacy in the 2 of you, your families and your company and the the people that surround you.

Gary, Aaron and family, no words can convey how much I loved Papa Duck and how deeply my heart hurts to lose him. Your father was one of the best friends I ever had. Please know we are all grieving with you - and for you. I can just see him and Mama Duck dancing away right now without a care in the world. Lord knows how much he missed his Dink. It helps a little to know they're together again. I love you guys. ~ The Rat

So very sorry for your loss. He was a nice man

There is so very much to remember with respect and affection about David, notable among them his joyfulness, integrity, kindness, and delight he took in his children and grandchildren.

I'm so very sad to hear of your loss. You have my heartfelt sympathy. Leslie Bryan Gesse
