My most heartfelt condolences, Norma. Romano was one of the most inspiring, dynamic, and kind of human beings. His exuberance, passion, intelligence, and loyalty were an example of how life should be lived. I will miss him, and I'm so very sorry for his passing. Angelo

Dear Norma & Family,

Anne & I send our heartfelt sympathies on Romano's passing. He will live on in my memories of our years of working together at Churchill Secondary, our student canoe & camping trips & especially our summer canoe expeditions. The stories are endless. Romano was a special and unforgettable companion.

An intelligent man....thoughtful, passionate, outspoken, verbose with a purpose, kind in many ways.........personable when he wanted to be......never afraid to speak his mind......honest.
A real personality.......who, I will never forget. I mourn his passing. My condolences to all the members of his family, whom he loved deeply.
