He is also survived by his parents, John and Claran; two sisters, Jioia Romanchuk of Lone Jack, MO and Amy (John) Caton of Blue Springs, MO; and many nieces, nephews and the “rest of the fam damily.” He was preceded in death by his grandparents, George and Mildred Romanchuk, Clarence and Edna Schmidt, as well as cousin, Lori Romanchuk.
