Thinking of you,Richard. Thanks for the Avalon Diner memories over the years. Kathy Cohn Knott

I loved sitting with Richard at The Avalon Diner many mornings, along with my 5 year old daughter! He was entertaining,engaging and informative. Plus handsome and so well dressed. I know he is missed by his daughter,whom he spoke of so often. Love to all from Kathy Knott

Loved my friend, Richard Rome. We had many breakfasts at The Avalon Diner on Kirby together.This was 1982-1985.I lost touch with him when he moved... he was wonderful!

Dearest Em, A very dear memory I have of your dad was when you were maybe four, and you had brought your parents to visit Granberry and Gran. Your dad was a dedicated reguar early-morning runner, and was just setting off after his warm-up, when you came up to him, arms raised high in earnest supplication, indicating you wanted him to pick you up. Your dad seemed to struggle with the choice -- cardio? or good dad? -- but his struggle was brief, and he swooped you up. xoxo aunt Lis
