Dearest Romer Family, I was so sorry to hear about the loss of Bob. He was so wonderful, vibrant and joyful! I would have been at the ceremony were it not for the sad fact that Bobbie's funeral was the same day. You are all in my thoughts and prayers – Sincerely, Liz Connolley
On behalf of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Lake Patrol Division; our sincerest condolences to the Romer family for you loss. We are so blessed to have his son Allen as a part of our "work family" and have heard many great stories over the years about Mr. Romer; he will truly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Romer and your family during this time of grief.
Carl Poelker. Bob was a true friend. He was a guy you could count in need. He was a real icon and the world will be a little sadder place.
I am a 1973 graduate of SDHS. I was somewhat of a shy young man. One morning I was tardy for class to start school. I sheepishly walk into Mr. Romers classroom expecting the worse. He quips: "Marty you have any bubblegum?" I say "no". He responds "sit down!" "Next time bring bubblegum" That was the end of it! No principle's office, nothing! It was over! But it wasn't over for me…I was never late again. Mr. Romer had a very special gift of bringing the very best out of people! He was one of the good ones!!
Bob had the God given gift to make everyone smile. He was so generous to give 4 Poelkers jobs over the summer. The memories are endless. We are all better people to have crossed his path. So blessed to have known Bob and his family. We could write a book growing up with this family, but we won't. Thank you Bob for always being there for us. Trent Poelker, Warrensburg Class of 88.
