Condolences
The family of Romeo John Tlougan has received the following condolences.
Shirley, Ron and Duane
I am so sorry to hear of your Father's passing. He was a good, honest man and liked by many, many people. I have such fond memories of riding along with him, Ron and Rich delivering gas to farmers. Like the good businessman he was, he always took the time to listen to and chat with his customers.
Marine and Sue Molde
Ron, Shirley and Duane ,
Please accept my sincere condolences on your father's passing.
I regret that I will not be able to attend the funeral.
I have great memories of uncle Romie. I recall him taking me with him in the bulk truck to deliver out by Salem Corners. Hopefully I wasn't to much hassle to have along.
I recall how well he and your mother could dance as I watched them at our wedding reception.
He grew up with my father in law, Don Behnken, and they had some good stories to tell. One involved putting a bit too much dynamite under a stump and it came down through a barn roof!
My best to you all
Jim
