James "Jim" Root

Jim and I shared many adventures on the water, hunting black bears, spearing carp, and just living life as friends and amigos. I loved him as a friend, and I know whoever he touched in life they were the better for it. Great guy, great loss. Another memory.

Oh the times we shared!!-----Thanks,nibs

Sorry to hear the bad news about Jim,brothers are great to have and very hard to lose.

Marty and Family

I knew you and your family when my husband, Patrick, worked for the Liedekas. I knew your Mom and Dad quite well. You and Jim were "little guys" back then. We had many fun times with Merce and Don. I again met Jim when he was with Gail (Patrick's niece is married to a relative). What wonderful tributes to him in the guest book. You must have wonderful memories of such a great brother.

Our deepest sympathy.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Jim' passing. I worked with Jim at WBAY for many years. He was quick with a smile and always a great listener. Jim had a way of directing with authority, yet often left us laughing! He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers with his family.
Sincerely,
Jenny Chevalier

I'm so sorry to hear this. I worked at WBAY in the early 90's, and it's because of a conversation that Jim had on my behalf that I was trained to be a television director there, which ultimately led to a successful career directing TV and corporate events. I will always be grateful to him for that.

My sincere condolences go out to his loved ones in this sorrowful time.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Jim. What a good man, friend and teacher he was to me in the 70s when I worked with him at WBAY. He will be missed.

my prayers to you Marty and family
