Condolences

Condolence From: Dean Pieczynski
Condolence: My deepest sympathies for your family's loss. I'm sure you're aware that the passing of Coach Roman is a great loss for all of us who knew him.
My first experience with Coach was as a linebacker on the SPASH sophomore football team. Coach had taken me out of the game for a rest. As I stood next to him waiting to be put back into the game, he bellowed out "Pieczynski! Will you hit somebody out there?!" I tapped him on the shoulder and said "Coach, I'm right here. " He turned to look at me and said without blinking, "Well, that's just in case you are in there!" Many years later, I would see him after Mass at St. Stephen's and we would always laugh about that story. It always made me feel special that after all those years, and all the teams he coached, and all the players he came across, that he remembered me and that funny story.
Later, when I was a physical education student at UWSP, one of my instructors said the best way to learn our craft was to be an assistant coach. I knew exactly who to ask for a volunteer learning experience. Coach graciously let me be an assistant on his sophomore football team. We went undefeated that year and it was one of the best experiences of my life. He was a great mentor, and I learned a lot just watching him. Later, when I became active in coaching youth sports, he was the standard that I set for myself. It was always my goal to try to have an impact on some young player like he impacted me.
There are many stories I could tell from either school or football, but there's always one thought that makes me smile, and it's a testament to the competitor he was. It was at practice after a loss the night before. We talked about the game and how difficult it was to lose. He looked at me and said, "you know, losing is worse than dying - because at least when you die, you don't have to get up the next morning.".
Rest in Peace Coach.
My condolences,
Dean Pieczynski

Condolence: Coach Roman was a great man. I will truly miss him. I have great memories of him coaching us, along with spending time with his family. Coach had the ability to make a man out of a boy. I will be forever grateful for his influence on my life; I know I wouldn’t be the man I am today if it wasn’t for Coach Roman.

Condolence: I send my heart felt condolences to the Roman family with their great loss. Mr. Roman was my teacher at SPASH for two classes and I know Mrs. Roman from my summer jobs at CAP Services. I hope you are able to celebrate the many ways the George touched the community in his work at the school, as a coach and at church. God's blessings to you all as you say good-bye to your loved one.

Condolence: Any success I have had in my teaching and coaching career I owe to George Roman. He is
the reason I became a teacher and a coach. He
was my mentor, my advisor, my friend and a father figure to me.I tried to model myself after Coach but it was a pale comparison to the great "ONE".We are all much better to have had George in our lives! A Loving,caring
man of principle and humor. We will all miss you dearly.

Condolence: A great man that inspired generations of students, athletes, and people that will pass on his beliefs, work ethic, values, and goofy sayings to their own kids. For those of us that knew him it's an understatement to say that he will live on forever. It was my greatest pleasure knowing, playing, and learning from GR. Rest in Peace Coach.

Condolence From: Adam & Lindsay Evanoff and Family
Condolence: GR was my coach at SPASH for 3 years in both football and baseball. He was one of those coaches, where you look back and realize that they weren't just a coach - but a mentor in life. GR has a great heart and truly cared for his students, players, family. God bless you GR for everything you have done for me over those most important 3 years of my life. Your stories, guidance and leadership will live with me forever. You lived a great life and I know you will rest in peace.
