John and I would like send our sincere condolences to the Poeppe family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Got to know Romayne through his visits to Anita (brother Joe and his wife JoAnn run the Redwood here). Always found him upbeat, positive, funny and good to be around. Will miss his laugh and his smiling face. I will offer a Mass for him and keep you all in my prayers.
Thank you so much for the comments. He will truly be missed. Thank you for offering a mass for him. He would love that!
Payton, Avril and I loved our weekly Covid suppers with him and Vici. We enjoyed his stories and will miss him greatly. We are so sorry for your loss.
He also loved getting you know you and your girls.
