Jim Roddey left an indelible mark on Southwestern Pennsylvania, through his business acumen, philanthropy, and public service. With his passing, we remember his commitment not only to this region as a political and civic leader, but also to our nation through his time in the Marines.  As the first Allegheny County Executive he shaped how a government of 6,000 employees, now with a $3 billion annual budget, serves more than a million of our neighbors across Allegheny County.
