13 years and I still think of you Father. I will never forget your guidance and support in my tough times. Having coffee at Starbucks and talking about God. I know you truly daved my exhusband and helped him to receive his sacrament of baptism. You inspired me to be a better Catholic. I love you and always will.

Father had been on my mind. I intended to send him a letter then decided to search his name. I am so shocked. He was so wonderful. Brought me through an annulment and married my current husband and I. He will be missed.

I just received my Christmas card from Fr.Romeo and was shocked and saddened to learn of his death. Fr. Romeo taught me CCD in the early 70's while he was attending St. Vincent, and I attended his First Mass in New York when he was ordained. We remained friends and continued to write one another throughout the years, especially at Christmas. My heart is heavy to learn of his passing. He will be dearly missed. I pray he did not suffer or was in any pain. He was a very kind, funny and wise man. I will never forget him and always value his friendship.

Father Romeo will always be in our thoughts and prayers. We always looked forward to his card at Christmas and so it was with shock and sorrow we received his last one. God bless you Father Romeo and know that you will always be in our hearts and prayers.

To the best boss I ever had. Say hello to your mom for us. I learned more about business and customer relations with Father Romeo than with all my MBA classes and 20 years of Wall Street experience combined. You were a great man who will be missed. Thank you for the priceless education you provided.

Our Priests are always so giving of their time and care, and we never really realize this until they are away from our parishes or lives. May God bless all those in the religious orders and may Father Romeo finally enjoy the eternal rest of God in heaven. Thank you Father Romeo for all you have done for everyone!

There are three kinds of priests: the ones no one really relates to, the super pious ones we all look up to, and a few "everyman's" priests. Father Romeo was an everyman's priest. He spoke to people at their own level, as if he was their next-door neighbor. As a result, people connected with him and listened to what he had to say. Father Romeo was an inspiration to me. He will be missed by many.

Father Romeo,
The Diocese of Las Vegas and I have lost a wonderful friend and a wonderful priest. Thank you for all that you have done for me and encouraging my vocation. I will miss your vain attempt at humor at the end of mass. You will be missed, but you are seeing our Lord face to face. Rest in peace!!

My wife and I of 33 years remember well, that young priest, with the jet black hair and the "tint" of a NY accent. It was in Trenton, NJ, when Fr. Romeo went out of his "normal" duties to persuade the chancery to allow our marriage to take place in Holy Cross Church in 1977. You will always be remembered as a genuine man of the Lord!

Father Romeo, I remember your Tuesday night classes at Saint Peter's; and you reminding us if we had a Bible on a table, to never lay anything on top of it, God's Word, the Bible. Father you were and are loved and you will remain in my prayers.

Father Romeo was always willing to come to St. Rose de Lima Hospital in Henderson, Nevada to anoint a patient whenever the need arose. I was always grateful for his generous spirit. May he rest in peace. Sister Beverly Bobola, Prince George, British Columbia

Father Romeo -
I will always remember that no matter how many people were meeting you after Mass...no matter how crowded the church was, you always made time to give me your blessings. You would always say that I was your inspiration. Father, you were more of an inspiration to me than you know. Please know that you will be forever missed by my family and myself.
Heaven will sing with laughter at your jokes while those you left behind will mourn you. But, we shall take comfort in knowing you have made an indelible imprint on our lives.
God Bless You, Father Romeo.
