In 2004 he was acknowledged for catching the most shrimp on opening day. He was known for his enjoyment of the outdoors, country music, watching cowboy shows, and his love for his family, especially his grandchildren. He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Dorothy Olander Romero of Erath; two sons, Jason L. Romero and his wife Karen of Erath and Randall J. Romero and his wife Ellen of Erath; two grandchildren, Alison Romero and Andrew Romero; and a step granddaughter, Jordan Lawrence.
