Does the original PO Box still apply? I'd like to contribute.

My prayers to John's family and friends:

That is just way too young to pass away. I am so sorry.

I will get a current address for the people that want to help John's family now.

In the spring we plan to have a benefit run for John. His wife is a teacher so she needs the extra money for the summer when she is not working.

I thank everyone for continually thinking of Johnny and his family.

Good stuff here guys, I applaud your efforts in organizing the masses to aid one of our own and his Wife and children in their need. I'd like to say that although I like to see us all support the licensed charities here in our Forum, it would give me a higher feeling of goodness to help someone we actually know that will benefit from our contributions.




I really like the idea of an annual event/drive to support the surviving Romano family members, if for no other reason than to keep our friend John's memory alive here in the Corvette Community in the future years. In my thinking John Romano is to this area much like Chip Miller is to the national Corvette populous, and I'd love to see similar benefit collected in his behalf, IE; another one of our own taken from us at way too early of an age. God bless John and his family.
