If you are reading this, I am dead. When Deb said it was time for me to “Boldly Go”. I had a mission with Mr. Spock. I knew the time had come. On March 4th at 2:40 AM I passed away at home in Medicine Hat AB with my wife at my side.
The path I take I take alone leaving behind my beloved wife and confidant Debra Romanko. Who meant the world to me and brought me so much joy in our short 35 years together. I also leave behind my brother Wade (Darlene) Romanko of Peachland BC and my sister Tracy (Bill) Whitefield of Edmonton AB. All though we didn’t see each other nearly enough you were always in my thoughts.
To my friends, I choose to keep my illness to myself and family. I didn’t want to burden you with my battle with pancreatic cancer. It was a losing battle from the start. Remember the good times we shared and take comfort in knowing I enjoyed our times together and I thought of you often and fondly.
There will be no services for me. I don’t’ want you mourning my passing. It is not my thing and not what I want. Debra is going to spread my ashes at Lilly Creek Campground where we were married. She will decide the best time. She thought fall would be a nice time when all the fall colours are out and I can soar with the eagles. I think she got it right as usual.
Good bye all, I have my final parking spot.
