Terri, Rebecca & Romie, so terribly sorry about Roman passing away. Our heart felt sympathies & condolences go out to you & your family members. The good times we shared from years ago when the kids were younger celebrating New Years eve, birthdays, special events or Badger Football games was a true delight & a lot of laughs. I can also still remember driving to Western Illinois Univ or back from WIU to Elmwood Pk with "Romaldo's" Green Ford Maverick that had so much Rust on the sides & holes in the doors that outside air would be flying in & that Roman kidded was his A/C system for that car. He always had a quirky, unique sense of humor & will be truly missed. He lived his life to his own drumbeat & he lived it very well. There is one quote from Abraham Lincoln that sums up Roman, "and in the end it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." He lived & enjoyed life. May God bless your family & May God Bless Roman in Heaven.

Our deepest sympathy. There will forever be an empty space in our family. We will miss Roman's smile, dry sense of humor and especially his laugh. "Only a moment you stayed, but what an imprint your footprints have left on our heart." Love, Blane, Patti, Nick and Alexandra

Roman was my account manager at Intralox. We worked together on almost a daily basis since I joined the company a little over a year ago. I had the pleasure of meeting Roman last fall in New Orleans. Roman and I were really hitting our stride as a team. He made a point to include me in his sales efforts and made me feel like I mattered. He had a great sense of humor, and I will miss him dearly. I am glad that I was able to know him.

I was so sorry to hear about Roman's passing. I worked with Roman for years and have missed our chats and hearing his stories when he left. He was so proud of his children and the happy home he had. My deepest condolences and thoughts go to his family.

I will miss Roman in many ways. Flipping lefse at my house - he was a good flipper; that silly grin when he was teasing me; the wonderful food he would make (such a perfectionist); the great job he did a Raoul the pool boy, and so much more. Terri, Romie, Becca, please remember the good times and treasure them. If any of you need anything, please call. I love you!
