David Roman
1946-2016
David Roman joined his beloved and desperately missed spouse, Pati, in heaven on Saturday August 13, 2016. Pati and David are reunited and celebrating their 36th Wedding Anniversary.
Also preceding him in death: his parents Carmella Nicastro Roman and Peter Roman, siblings Leonard, Larry, Joe and Ruth. David is survived by his devoted son Ryan, his daughter, Jessica Roman as well as brothers Pete and Dan Roman.
A Dunmore High School graduate ( Dunmore, PA), David found ,his way to Pittsburgh in 1979 in search of a new career. David’s life-changing Pittsburgh intersection would be meeting the love of his life and forever soul mate, Pati. David would never look back to Scranton, rather forward in solidifying his life roots in Western Pennsylvania, centering on his family and business as a financial advisor.
David celebrated and displayed his Italian heritage with great pride as well as embracing all that reflected the joy of Pati, Ryan and Jessica. David found joy and delight in life’s big and small moments: Pati’s cooking, everything Italian, motor cycling to parts unknown on the east coast, 1st responder snow plowing for neighbors, splitting wood, the family cats and just sitting on his deck watching the humming birds.
David treasured his marriage, his children, his friends and anyone who would listen to his jokes.
David’s life collapsed physically in March, coping with the devastating and life altering side effects of renal failure and heart disease. Despite his limitations, he hoped for independence. His goal was to return to 141 Becker, feeling safe and secure with Ryan as his steadfast support. That was not to be.
