Just doing some general purpose digging on old Murray here...
His wife appears to have been Danette Root.

The city matches up as well - Atlanta.
I found the name "Danette" while looking through what I believe are old newsgroup postings of his. I believe he posted on newsgroups with the name "Danette & Murray Root" in the mid 90s. There are plenty examples if you do a google search for that term - "Danette -n- Murray Root" brings up some as well. The posts aren't that unusual, mostly programming spergery, and it's kind of...adversarial but definitely nothing like the madness that is on display in this thread.
(Note: The mention of being from near Boston, Massachusettes matches up with Murray's Facebook which says he is from Mattapoisett, Massachusetts.)
Was Danette's death a breaking points of sorts for our boy Murray?
Obviously, if this is, indeed, his wife, we have hid kid's names as well. Hmmm.
Edit: I've confirmed that our Murray Root is Murray J. Root, so that essentially proves this info. A search of "Murray J. Root" brings up more mid-90s progamming spergery. Most of this is done with the e-mail address of "murrayr@brain.org" It also leads me to believe that his age is 67.
Another e-mail here is murray.root@onebox.com. It's certainly outdated though.
The latest of his newsgroup spergery that I can find is in 2002. Something weird went on between then and now.
