Obituary for Kenneth E. Root
It is with broken hearts and much sadness to announce the passing of Ken on Saturday, January 15, 2022. He leaves behind his daughter Shelley Root, his loved grandson Thompson D. Root, daughter-in-law Mary-Anne and her mom Mary, his great grandson Andrew, sister Sylvia “Dolly” and Jerry, his sister-in-law Suzanne, and the love of his life – his Dog Muppy. He was an uncle and great uncle to many who loved him deeply.
Predeceased by his parents Pauline and Gordon Root, his son Kenny Root, sister Mickey, and brother Bob. Ken worked for Rockwell in Chatham for over 30 years. I believe he said he got a plaque one year for missing the most time. He loved motorcycles, cars, and trucks, and idid bodywork and painted vehicles for many years and built many homes, This was a family trait. He never liked to miss a party with family and friends. But as Ken aged plus health issues, he would say what happend to the golden years. He will be missed by all.
On his journey, on a motorcycle with wings, heading to the sky to be with the one’s he lost.
A private service will be held. As expressions of sympathy, memorial donations may be made to Sarnia and District Humane Society.
