Keith, Rom worked for a major pharmacutical here in NJ. Not a cop, Pig is the policeman here.

My prayers are with his family and friends. I never met him, but I remember the Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords article that featured his C5. He had one of the first 97's out there.

:( :cry

Mark,
I can't imagine what you are going through right now. Rom was a pleasure to be around. He was one of the first people I met at the track and he always gave me good ideas and info. Thursday night I could not get to sleep thinking about him and his poor family and friends and what they are going through right now. He loved that car and he always kept it is such great shape. He never really beat on it and I remember at the last dyno day we had to talk him into putting his car on the dyno. The last time I had seen Rom was at Atco a couple of weeks ago. We will never forget him :blueangel:

My prayers and condolences go to his family. May he rest in peace. :sad:

thats what bothers me most, is that ROM never was as crazy as the rest of us in our crew. we always busted on him calling him a keyboard racer because he never liked to race in the streets and rarely at the track. his car had approximately 12000 miles on it.

I just wanted to say that it broke my heart to start that first thread on Thursday. Seeing the helecopters overhead, and later finding out from my coworkers what they had just reponded to put a knot in my stomach.

After working yesterday, and talking to all the men who had responded to the accident, I can say this: Two CFD Engine Companies responded, CFD rescue ambulance, hospital paramedics, CFD deputy chief, and multiple Police units.

All of the firefighters on scene were also EMT's, and from my conversations with them, did everything humanly possible to try to save Rom's life. His passenger was extricated, and taken to University Hospital In Newark, which is a Type 1 ER trauma center.

I applaud Justin, who selflessly ran to Rom's aid while other bystanders did nothing, even though the telephone pole was broken nearly in half, carrying 15,000 volts just overhead.

I did not have the opportunity to know Rom, but I can see from the outpouring of letters, he was loved, and will be surely missed.

With all Respect,
Lieutenant William Henn
Fire Dept. City of Clifton

Justin, I salute you for your heroic attempt at trying to help, i read your post on the other site and it was sending chills down my spine imagineing what that site must have been like.
And of course my thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends of Rom :sad: http://www.nj.com/news/ledger/essex/...7864303680.xml
