On June 24, 1972 in Thomas, he married the former Carris Ann Higgins who survives in Elkins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the age of thirteen thru high school, Romie ran the register at the newsstand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He made fourteen dollars a week and always made sure to take out seven dollars to give to his mother. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romie was a 1961 graduate of Elkins High School. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He then proudly served in the Army National Guard for six years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romie had been employed as a manager at Reidbord Brothers for thirty two years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He enjoyed working in the flower beds at the house with his wife Carris Ann, was a loving husband and father and will be greatly missed by all he touched. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
