STEVE ROMAS
Left to cherish his memory are his brother, Peter and wife Adeline; sister, Leona and husband Gerry; sisters-in-law, Cathie, Sophie and Linda; numerous nieces and nephews; and Steve's special friend, Mary.
Steve's humour and friendship will be missed by all his friends and staff at Concordia Village.
Steve was predeceased by his wife, Nellie; his parents, Henry and Nettie Romas; sister, Jean; and brothers, Barry, Nick, Ernie, Norman and Paul.
Steve was born and raised on the family farm in Oakbank, Manitoba. In 1951 he moved to the city and started working at CPR. He worked there his entire career, until he retired in 1991. In 1952, Steve married the love of his life, Nellie Krawchuk. They resided together in East Kildonan until Nellie's passing in 1996. Steve remained there until his move to Concordia Village in 2015.
Steve had many friends at Concordia Village, and he could be found most days socializing in a group in the front lobby of Building 1.
The family would like to extend their thanks to the wonderful team at Concordia Village for their care of Steve on his final day, and the kind support that they have shown our family.
The family has respectfully proceeded with cremation, and we will have a celebration of Steve's life at a later date, once we are all able to congregate and celebrate as a family.

To all of Uncle Steve's family I wish to express my condolences on behalf of my family and his sister-in-law Geraldine Marcynuk. I visited Uncle Steve last year at the home in the lobby first (flirting with all the girls) and then his room. We had a really nice visit remembering Auntie Nellie. Today he is with the love of his life! Take care and be safe. Love Debbie Marcynuk-Janes - Posted by: Debbie Marcynuk-Janes (Niece) on: Mar 22, 2020

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends. I will miss our afternoon discussions in the lobby of Concordia Village. You were my neighbour but also a wonderful friend. You will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Antonio Silvari (Friend from Concordia Village) on: Mar 21, 2020

I have many fond memories of Uncle Steve and Aunt Nellie when I was a little girl, playing in their garden with all the cousins. RIP Uncle Steve! - Posted by: Michele Voelkner (Niece ) on: Mar 21, 2020

My mother Bernice is one of Steve's many friends at Concordia Village and I on occasion had the privilege of visiting and chatting with him as well. He was such a nice man - a true gentleman!!! I was very shocked & saddened when she called me Tuesday with the sad news, as I had just been over there the evening before & had a nice visit with him and "The Squad" out front. I know she is very sad and his sudden passing has quite rattled her and the rest of the residents there. He will be deeply missed. Deepest sympathies to family and friends. - Posted by: Peggy Wasylishen (Acquaitance at Concordia Village) on: Mar 21, 2020
