Not sure what to say?

I was sorry to hear of Sal's passing. I have many fond memories of him during his presidency at CSEA. After his term in office, he hosted a dinner party for the entire CSEA staff at my home which will always be special. Having Sal and his daughter with us for the meal, which was cooked by Karen Brosi, EA, was indeed a treat.
My prayers are with the entire family and hope that the celebration of Sal's life brings many smiles and love.

Sal, truly a gentleman and enthusiastic CSEA mentor. I always loved when he slipped into Commander Romo mode with sometimes a bark of an order or reference to needing a war chest. In those times he would remind me of my own father. Thinking of his family and their loss.

It is with a heavy heart that I send my condolences to the Romo family. My prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Sal's family.
Sal and I were classmates in the great class of '58 at S.I.We shared an honor of both being in the Coast guard together.

I am saddened at the passing of Sal Romo, and send my condolences to his family.
Sal was a good man. The highest tribute to anyone today. I served with him in CSEA for many years. His commitment to raising the status of Enrolled Agents was monumental.
We will all miss Sal.

Sal and I served CSEA together for several years as a volunteer. He worked tirelessly for the Profession, the Society, and its Members. I will always remember his energy, enthusiasm, and wit. But most of all, I will remember his warm and friendly smile. It was a privilege,a pleasure, and an honor to have known and worked with you. Fair winds and following seas my friend.

I came to know Sal when he reported aboard SALVIA the summer of 1976 as my second in command of the USCGC SALVIA in Mobile, Alabama. He did a great job the year we were together under difficult circumstances. I always appreciated Sal's willingness to take on and complete any special task I gave him. He was a valued member of the crew and deserved all accolades. He will be missed!

CDR Romo was a gentleman and a great leader, he will be sadly missed.
