Rome was just about the gentlest person I ever met. He was such a sweet person. My biggest regret is that I did not spend more time with him. I am so proud that he was my sister's husband. We will always love Rome.

I worked with Rome at Helene Curtis

for several years, he was a very likeable person and fun to work with. His sister Deloris and I are friends. May he rest in peace.
