Kenneth M. Romines

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. My sincere condolences

Clerking for Judge Romines on the Court of Appeals was my first job out of law school, and what a way to start it was! I quickly was welcomed by his wit and wisdom, as so many have recounted, but also his genuine care for me as a brother in Christ. I learned so much about what it means to be a good lawyer and a good judge from Judge Romines, and getting to be in his orbit feels like membership in a special club, where everyone has that knowing smile as soon as you mention his name.

Judge Romines was always very kind to me especially when I was a young lawyer. Visits to his courtroom and his chambers were always a humorous and enjoyable educational adventure. My wife and I had the great pleasure of spending several days fishing and dining with him and John Reed in the Florida Keys. We were overlapping guests of Jack Sluggett. I too , had a few chance visits with him on the side walk downtown. What a great man and what a great life he lived to the fullest. My condolences...

Kenny was a great man and a great judge. He was a good friend of mine who supported my work advancing the rule of law in legislation and courts. He had a vital personality and exceptional sense of humor.

As a young lawyer I enjoyed visiting Judge Romines in his trial chambers in Clayton. He was full of wisdom and wit, and always drew a colorful cast of characters around him. He is one of the judges I practiced before that influenced me in ways that have made me a better judge. I'll miss him. Judge Stan Wallach

Ken and I became fast friends in the late seventies and stayed friends all these years,he taught me many things especially on our many trips to Sedalia to work a little then go eat at the old courthouse restaurant great memories. His kindness no matter what stature of life you came from was based on his Christian beliefs not appearances. Just to have him call you friend is the greatest honor of my lifetime. Thanks for the memories to the entire Romines family.

I defy any Lawyer who practiced in St Louis County to not smile when I say he made the trip to the Courthouse worth it. My his memory be a blessing.

If you looked up the word Judge in the dictionary, you would find a picture of Judge Romines. Not only was he the epitome of a judge by his stature, he was the epitome of a judge by his actions. I loved him, even though I haven’t seen him in over 10 years. I worked with Judge Romines when I worked in the prosecuting attorneys office, child support division in St. Louis County. He came to my wedding. My son called him “your uncle your honor”, which always cracked him and Ken up. When it was...
