Romie was one of the most kind hearted people I have ever come across. He would do anything for anybody and always had a story to share. His laugh was infectious and he always had a smile no matter what he was doing. Uncle Romie I will never forget when Shelly and Jim got married and you did the chicken dance with all of us.....it seems like eons ago but I will always remember that. I will miss you so much but I am happy you are in a better place and are no longer in pain and suffering anymore. RIP Uncle Romie, you will be missed by many, and loved by even more!!

Scott, Shelley, Steve and Family,
I met your dad briefly one day as I visitied your household though a circle of boys. He really made me feel welcome as if I was a part of the family. I left that day feeling like I had really made a lifetime friend...and everytime after that, when I ran into Romie in the community...it was the same feeling. It was a great pleasure to know your dad and all that emcompasses such a unique individual. Thoughts and prayers are with you all as you endure the pain with such pride.
