Roman, a man whose heart was full of love and kindness.
Dearly loved brother in law to Joe and greatly treasured uncle to Cheryl, Wayne, Amanda, Isabella, Joseph and their families.

Goodbye dear brother in law Roman. In every way a true brother to us. He faced many years of suffering with remarkable courage and dignity. Supported always by the tender loving care of his compassionate wife Rhonda and his devoted children, Daniel, Patrick and Roman Jnr. Their untiring devotion was a blessing to him and a testament to the love they shared.

Roman had a rare gift for forming warm and genuine friendships. He made his family and friends feel truly valued. His many nephews and nieces held a special place in his heart, and each of them felt his warmth, love, and affection in ways they will cherish for the rest of their lives.

Farewell dear Roman, we were truly blessed to have you as part of our family. Thank you for being our other brother. You will remain forever in our hearts.

Now at peace in God's loving arms.

Roy and Anna Fazzalari and family
