To Sharon, Scott, Shelley,Steve & families,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Romie! He was a great man who always had a smile on his face and would do anything for anyone. I will never forget all of the good memories that we had when Sharon & Shelley babysat us girls. You guys always made us feel like such a part of your family. You are in our thoughts and prayers. RIP Romie!!!!!
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!!
Wanting to send our thoughts and prayers to the entire family while your hearts heal! Thinking of you all!

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.
