Root, David P.
Batavia
On July 18, 2016, at age 65, David passed away peacefully at the Genesee County Nursing Home. He is predeceased by his parents, Gerald and Luella Root, and brother, John. David is survived by his friends, Gordie and Michal Petty and their children; Sarah (Michael) Wahl of Batavia, Christina (Adam) Lusk and their children of North Carolina, and Steven Petty.
David retired from the NYS School for the Blind where he had worked until health issues caused his retirement. He was an avid fan of the NY Yankees and the Batavia Muckdogs. He loved stock car racing, both locally and nationally. He also enjoyed bowling. David loved when he could be with the cats when they came to visit at the nursing home.
Friends are invited to attend his Graveside Service, Saturday, August 13, 2016 at 11 AM at the Elmwood Cemetery, Harvester Ave., Batavia.
