Not sure what to say?

Roots candy store is one of my fondest memorirs of growing up in Westfield. Thank you Mr Root.

Mr. Root put up with the onslaught of thousands of baby boomer teenagers into his business every day with grace and kindness. His business defined a wonderful time in the lives of so many of us. "Meet you at Roots" still warms my heart. Prayers and blessings for you and your family.

Me Root was a big part of my teenage years. A very nice man who really cared about the kids that hung out in his store. Lots of fun memories.
My condolences to the Root family.

Mr Root was a caring and soft spoken gentle man to all of us who made the soda fountain the place to go. I have fond memories of the time spent there.
Rest in peace Mr Root.
