After a hard start in life in Poland, Roman met the love of his life Antonette, married and moved to the United States in 1966.  Working hard along with his wife they built a beautiful life together, filled with lots of success, laughter and love.  His entrepreneurial spirit drove him his entire life. He had a true passion for starting and running businesses.  His success afforded him the ability to explore one of his other passions which was travel; he, along with his family, traversed the world and saw all its wonders.  But his true love was his family and friends.  He enjoyed life and truly loved to laugh.  His smile brightened every room and he was the rock that anyone who knew him leaned on.  Roman will be missed and mourned by all who knew him for many years to come.
