Great Uncle Roman, was a very nice man. I’ll never forget coming up from the country to ride on his bus in the city. He and Hazel would come and visit before attending the numerous festivals and picnics in our rural community. Roman Borgmeyer will always be remembered as a loving husband to Hazel. I am happy that Uncle Roman was in our lives. My condolences to all.
Yes, Uncle Roman was a good man. He had that shy grin come across his face when he would show you his new car. His cars were his kids and he pampered himself with the best every few years. He kept his cars in immaculate shape as he and Hazel traveled extensively through the United States on their min vacations. To know him was to love him…and we loved him deeply! Thank you Gene for being his “caretaker” for so many years and driving the “Oats Bus”!
Roman was a very sweet man. He would walk at the mall in the morning and then come visit with me at the Bank. He always had the wonderful smile of his. He had some great stories and always talked so highly of his sister in law Evelyn Borgmeyer. God Bless you Roman
Mr. Borgmeyer was the nicest man! My dad rode his bus when his eyes failed and that was when I learned that they had both been Blackhawks in WW II. I was always so happy to see him at the mall when he walked. He will be missed.
