porch, enjoying fresh air and chatting with neighbors.

friends al-ways made them feel at home, often visiting with them until the
early hours of the morning. One of Roman Angel's favorite pastimes was
playing "chalupa", a game he always preferred to win. He will dearly be
missed by his family and friends and will long be remembered for his loyalty

humor.
