I remember watching Mr. Romard working on a roof. I was amazed at the rythm he kept pounding the nails through the plywood. This was Before carpenters had pneumatic guns to do the job.
I wanted to share a nice memory I have of Mr. Romard. He help in teaching me how to work. Work hard and be proud.

Joey and Sherry I'm sorry to hear about your Dad. He was a good guy, who I liked being around, especially when me and Joey worked with him, and my father, Ray. I remember how amazed I was how strong he was for his size. He was a tough SOB. I'm glad I knew him.

Sherry and Joe,
I hope you know how much I admired your dad. He always made me feel like I was "something". In my teenage years that meant a lot. The "PetRom" business, I loved my dad, but preferred to work with yours. Our deepest sympathy. the PETERS'
