Sherman Rootberg Obituary

My deepest Sympathy,
I had the pleasure of meeting Sherman in I believe in the 80's. My mother in law was Anne Rootberg, (Nemiroff). Penner. I remember meeting all of Anne's relatives in Chicago, and Paul's cousins. You were all so kind.
I am shocked and am doing a family tree for my two Daughters Rachael and Nicole. Anne Ryan Nemiroff-Galmarini

Yael, I know how hard this is for you and your family as I went through it not that long ago. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Rootberg family,
I went to school with Sherman and always liked him. There are no good words...just wanted you to know that I am thinking of all of you at this time.

Our condolences on the passing of Sherman. Many thoughts are with you right now. May your days be filled with treasured moments of your life together.

Dear Yael,
My sincere condolences to you,Sallie,Nate & Hailey; and to your mother, brothers,sisters, on the loss of your beloved father. My thoughts are with all of you. Love always, Aunt Myra

Dear Bobbi, I have fond memories of Sherman from our grammer and high school years. Fortunately, we were able to re-connect at our class reunion and were in contact through the years since. I especially enjoyed the travelog of the past few years. I will miss the daily reports. And I will miss Sherman. My deepest sympacies to you and your family.

Your Friend,
Joey Spatafora

My sincere condolences to the Rootberg family.

I was a classmate of Sherman's in High School, and have fond memories of our Jr. Prom night together with Phil Kaplan and our dates, as I related earlier to Ilene.

At our 2003 class reunion, Sherman reminded me of an incident with my father that occurred when I returned home very late; both the incident and my loss of memory about it were due to the same cause ;)

I remember Sherman's sense of humor and down-to-earth common sense. I'm sorry I didn't have the chance to get to know him better in later life.

So sorry to hear of Sherman's passing.

Bobbi, Jenni, Ilene, Adam, Yael & all the kids... You know how I loved Sherman - and you know how I'll miss him. The memory I will keep is when he laughed so hard that the tears flowed - because he was playing a joke on me. He was a great guy and I'm here for all of you. Much love, Vicki

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Hopefully your memories will bring you some comfort during this difficult time

Zaydie,
We will miss you and we love you!

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Sherman; my condolences are with the family. I knew Sherman and his father through the Admiral Oasis Motel in Morton Grove. As Deputy Fire Marshal and later Building Commissioner, I had many memorable meetings and discussions with Sherman. I truly miss working with honorable people such as Sherman whose word could be taken as a contract. Again, my condolences.

We miss you Zayde!

Roberta, I was very sad to hear of Sherman's passing. Please accept my condolences. I remember Sherman through my friendship with his brother Michael. I hope he was as cheerful and enjoyed life as much as he did back in the days of the old neighborhood. Sincerely, Steven Strauss

To the Rootberg family. We are sorry for your loss and our thoughts are with you.
Love, Larry & Cindy Sohn
