He was such a nice guy, I will always remember when he came to the picnics and he played baseball and one time he even did Mass. He is missed, but I know he is in heaven with all the other relatives and they are having a good old time. Rest in Peace Father Jerry

Father was our parish priest at Our Lady of Grace where I was a student. He would come to our house on Fridays. He would bring milk and ring dings. He was the girls softball coach and paid for my sister Julia to go to Paul XI. His smile, caring and generous spirit is what I remember. I saw him years later at the hospital that I worked. I know you are with your father, you were one of the best.

Our family was saddened to hear of the death of a great priest, "The Baseball Padre". I frequently received phone calls or letters from him, but wondered why I hadn't received anything for a couple of months. He will be missed, and our copies of "The Mackmen" will always be on our bookshelf.

Father Romanowski was an inspiration to us all he married my wife and I and baptized both our children. He was always there for our family. His love for baseball was something that even made him more special to us. His humor was just outstanding. We will all miss him but the memories will always be with us.

Dear Family,
I was saddened to learn of Father's- he had a history with the O'Hearn Family from OLG in Somerdale back in the 70s. Father officiated at our family weddings and at my dad's funeral. He said Mass at homes of parishioners too, ours included.
I will remember Father as a "model priest" who served The Lord faithfully., always with great humility and true reverence. His smile revealed his inner peace that was evidenced in his friendly, happy demeanor doing God's Will.
May the angels and saints rejoice as Our Lord welcomes him into His Kingdom with the words, "Well Done Good and Faithful Servant..."
Enjoy eternity, Father Romanowski. I hope we meet again!

Father was a wonderful priest who was loved by many of his parishioners. He was very humble and would help those who came to him in need whether it was spiritual or financial. He would listen to the problems of many individuals and pray with them. He had a natural ability to bring his congregation to the Lord through prayer. He had such devotion to the Blessed Mother and the saints. He was a spiritual leader of the Catholic faith who taught the flock how to pray and put God first in our lives everyday. My family will never forget all that he has done for us. With love and prayers, Cindy & Norman Merckx & family
