In loving memory of Predrag Romano
It is with great sadness and loving hearts that we announce the passing of Predrag (PJ) Romano, age 75 of Goderich, on September 28th, 2021, and it is with deep pride for the passionate life that he lived that we announce that a memorial will be held on Tuesday, September 5th at Falconer Funeral Homes in Goderich.
Predrag will be missed by his wife of 48 years, Katarina, his daughter, Nina, and beloved grandson Nikolas, his daughter, Maja, and her partner, Aurélien, his brother, Nenad, and niece, Sara, and his sister-in-law, Juga. He was the eldest son of Jaša and Nada Romano. Predrag grew up and completed his engineering studies in Belgrade, Serbia, before he and his family moved in 1986 to join the Champion Road Machinery sales team in Goderich. He had dear friends and colleagues around the globe, from school friends and neighbours in Belgrade, to colleagues at Champion/Volvo Construction, to friends in the Opel community around the world. He is leaving behind many people who were lucky enough be his friends, to be at the receiving end of his help and to be his family.
Those who knew Predrag know he was always ready to lend a hand, through his boundless intelligence, his extensive mechanical skills or his ability to tell a good joke. He filled his life with passion for fighting the good fight, always rooting for the underdog and really believing that a great game of tennis can only be played by Novak Djoković, that all animals are great but cats are the best, that a road is only as good as the grader that made it, that Opel made the best vintage race cars, and that his family was always, always the number one priority.
We will miss Predrag with all our hearts. He left us too soon after a brave battle with illness through which he never stopped finding new projects, firing up the barbecue and staying close with friends and family. He always stayed strong and joyful for all of us, and for that we will forever be grateful.
A memorial service will be held on October 5th at 1pm at Falconer Funeral Homes in Goderich. Due to restrictions on gatherings, attendance will be limited. For those unable to attend, Predrag’s family invites you to view the service via livestream by visiting his tribute page at www.falconerfuneralhomes.com. The link will remain active following the service.
Donations can be made in honour of Predrag’s memory to the SPCA and Humane Society.
