Robert Romy Obituary

ROBERT E. ROMY, known to all as "Bob", died Thursday, March 27, 2008. A native son of Fort Wayne, he graduated from North Side High School and attended Ball State University. He was a local business owner of Four Season's Flowers & Gifts, Lion's Share, and Much Ado About Bread. He was loved by all who knew him; he defined the meaning of friendship. He was generous with his time and creative talents, and was also a great cook, who possessed a wonderful sense of humor. As defined by one of his friends, "Your whole life, you've brought beauty and flair to the world and to each of us!" He was cherished and valued by his brothers of the Mankind Project. He is survived by two nieces; and a nephew. He was preceded in death by his parents, Gwen and Fred Romy; and brother, Fred, Jr. His cremated body will be taken to Michigan, which he considered "Gods' Country." Memorials may be made to Visiting Nurse & Hospice Home, 5910 Homestead Road, Fort Wayne, IN 46814. Arrangements by D.O. McComb & Sons, Covington Knolls Funeral Home, 8325 Covington Road.

Bob and I first met at Ball State as we lived across the hall from each other. We became very good friends and had many good times over the years. We spent many good times in FT Wayne visiting and he would come to our home to spend time. I think of him often and still miss him.

Bob was a wonderful person and boss. I worked for Bob at Four Seasons where I got my first start in the floral business/design and he taught me many valuable things I still use today in my own floral gift shop. Thank you Bob for your sense of humor and fun, fun times we shared....your love of life, your generosity, your mentoring. You were a very special person to me.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.
Bob will be missed by many especially by us. He was not only a good friend but the godfather of our son. I have many special memories of our days in Muncie and Ball State.
