With broken hearts, Michelle and I are sorry to announce the passing of our beautiful boy Romi. After fighting for the last month, he was ready to give up the battle and move on Monday morning. He is survived by his pack Andy, Bailey, Connie and Millie. We had many years of pure joy from this hound, who was an unexpected addition during the 2004 GRA picnic. He had been at the Hinsdale adoption centre for over a year, but when I saw him at Bill's with his beautiful big roman nose, and listened to him rooing in his kennel, and experienced him kissing me right through the bars, I knew this unique character was for us. I have never been sorry that we added him to our pack, he has been at the centre of life at Camp Greyhound for all of these years, and was a favorite where ever he went. To say he will be missed is a tremendous understatement. Thanks to dear friends Dee and Anne for their support yesterday, you made an unbearable day almost manageable; and thanks to Anna our homeopath who made his last month really comfortable. I imagine Romi arriving at the bridge, and meeting his brother Cantankerous Lou, who pre-deceased him by less than a year, and all the SSGG angels that have left us so recently β Dove, Sadie, Hobbes, Tomtom, Jack, and most recently Hope to name a few. Little Kasie , who he met and liked, went to the bridge at almost the same time he did, and I'm sure he's settled in and is washing everyone's ears right about now. Goodnight, sweet Prince, til we meet again.

Ah, Romi, if anyone ever had the biggest, most beautiful brown eyes, it was you, my boy! I never got tired of petting you. The pictures are priceless, especially the one of you meeting the ferret!
Karen and Michelle, words cannot express how sorry we are for your loss of this wonderful boy. He was such a big part of your lives, and he will be so missed. Take care of yourselves, and your pack. I know my guys are feeling the loss of Kasie, I am sure yours are missing Romi....hugs...Janette and Harold

Romi, you were loved by many and will be sadly missed, my friend. You will be forever remembered, especially for your kind eyes and persistent nudges to remind people to just keep giving you loves and rubs once they started. You will always hold a special place in many hearts - human and hound. Lots of love to you, Karen and Michelle. No hound could have asked for more!

Camp Greyhound has certainly lost a star councillor. I am sure there has been quite a reunion at the bridge as of late.
My deepest sympathy to you both on the loss of this distinguished, handsome boy.

I'm truly sorry for your loss. Romi was a special dog, and will be missed greatly by many people.
I know I will never forget his gentle loving nature, he was a perfect ambassador for greyhounds.
Run free Romi

Jim and I are so sorry to read this. Romi was greatly loved and will be sadly missed. He couldn't have had a better home or family.
God speed sweet Romi, and run free.
