Not sure what to say?

To Julie, Marlee, Silas, Ellen, Betty, Howard, and all the rest of you that are still here. I first met John, who I guess was the baby some where around the school year of 1992/93. After seeing Marlee and Silas and their last name of course, I questioned John if he was related to the Romigs from 'L' Street. He said they are my brothers and sisters. Hi!, to you all that are still here. I would love to talk to you again. My daughter Rebecca King went thru school with Silas and Marlee....

The first time I met John was when at I flew in to Upper Russia Lake with Dr. Romig. I was nine years old and John wanted to sell me a Butterfinger candy bar! To which I didn't have 25 cents, so he said, you can pay me later kid! Thats' what started my friendship with John and the Romig family for over fifty years.(with many years of moose hunting) John will be missed by many friends! Henry Denton

Our family has a hole in it without you, John. Every memory I have of you is good - playing football, swimming, summer cookouts, walking through the Fall leaves. You were always one of my favorite cousins and I am sadder without you.

I worked with John at Alaska Distributors and U.P.S. he was a good friend. Taken much too soon,i'll miss him and his quick wit and solid council. Goodbye John you will be missed.

(Julie/Rod), the kids and all of John's family,
How sad to hear John is no longer with us! I will miss running into him and chatting in the grocery stores or Post Office. He always took the time - on his own time - and gave me a brighter sense of encouragement and honesty in our affiliated communications. A "Brother" gone too soon, RIP dear John!

I consider John as a father! I lived with him for 5 months and that's what he is for me, a father!
Be at peace dad!
This is sad day for me.

With tears streaming down my face, I struggle to find words to ease the sense of loss that we are all feeling right now.

John,
I will miss your never ending sense of humor, your ablility to make light of just about any situation and the fact that you always made the time to just sit and listen, never once being judgmental. Your love for your children was unfaltering and I know they were proud to call you "Dad".

To Betty, Marlee, Silas, Julie and Rod, and the...

John will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers go out to all his family.

My condolences to John's family. I remember John's dedication to the working man as he was my Teamster BA for several years. John was taken away from us far too soon. I join my Teamster brothers and sisters in mourning his passing.
