Born in Wilford, Idaho June 24, 1932 to proud parents Rulon Ruben Romrell and Myrtle Jane Harder Romrell. His father taught him early in life to work hard and be honest in all dealings. It was a work ethic he practiced all the rest of his days. He will forever be remembered with fondness by all those children who attended David Gourley and Alpine elementary schools where he worked. As a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, he served an honorable mission in Canada, and many other church callings throughout his life. Dad was one of a kind. He was a man of integrity, strength, hard work, joy, compassion, wisdom, honesty, charity, dependability, laughter and faith. He was admired and loved by all those who knew him. He was a simple man and derived great joy and happiness through his family and service. He knew and believed the greatest treasure a man could have is an eternal family. Dad, you will surely be missed. Hugs and kisses till we meet again. Proceeded in death by Parents, daughter Trina Hancock, son Wade Verde, Brothers Dean and Burton Romrell and Sister Marie Bateman.
