My deepest sympathies and condolences go out to all of the Romanski family. When Mr. Romanski coached Ace Cleaners in the Post 207 Little League he snatched me up for his team when I tried out with the older boys knowing full well that I purposely cheated by not trying out with my younger counterparts guess he did not want the other coaches to find out before he made his move. And the memory of Coach with his trusty assistant Matt Mazur by his side on the field will forever be etched into my mind those were the good old days indeed that I will never forget. I will also say that for some unknown reason the memory of Coach always pops into my head every time I watch The Bad News Bears movie with Walter Matthau dont really know why though!? May you rest in peace Coach and God bless you.

Dear Mrs. Romanski~~~ We are so saddened at the loss of our dear friend Ed. Fountain Ridge has lost a wonderful neighbor and Our Lady of Consolation has lost a dear member. We will miss seeing him in the last pew at Saturday evening Mass. Our love and prayers are with you.

Mrs. Romanski Mom told me the news this morning and words cannot express my sadness for your loss. He was my buddy and like another grandpa to me. We used to have some great talks on the driveway in the summer when I delivered the newspaper. Kneeling in the pew I always new who it was when I felt a tap on the shoulder during communion. He was always the first person I looked for in church when I came home for a visit. He will be missed... Your #1 paperboy David

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
