It is with great sadness I must relate the passing of Ed Roman, CP, LO. His determination and resilience during his fight over the past year and a half was an inspiration to all who knew him.
It was my great pleasure to share the twilight of his career with him. He had a wealth of knowledge about the history of our profession and great sense of humor that kept the whole crew smiling. We all miss him a lot.
Here is his obituary as published in the Rockford Star Register.
