Obituary for James Paul Romeo
James Paul Romeo, 74, of Havre de Grace, MD, passed away at home June 25, 2016 to the loving arms of his Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
Born in Baltimore, MD on August 28, 1941, Jim was the son of the late Peter and Thelma Womer Romeo. Jim served in the U.S. Air Force from 1960-64 and the Maryland National Air Guard for three years.

He loved camping and canoeing and he and his wife enjoyed their visits to numerous National Parks. Jim also enjoyed music, especially folk and doo-wop. He played the guitar and sang John Denver songs. Another hobby was car restoration, but he will be most remembered for his talent as a potter, and teaching pottery at the Aberdeen Senior Center.
