He passed away 3:15 am November 22, 2014 at his home. He was 87.

He is survived by 3 children. Daughter, April Babin and husband Harry Babin; daughter, Vikki Rome Tonguis and husband Thomas Tonguis, Jr.; son CZ Rome and wife Christina Rome; sister Theresa Hebert; nine grandchildren: Adam Albarado, Anthony Albarado, Kyle Tonguis, Marcus Tonguis, Bradley Tonguis, Jessie Rome, Kevin Rome, Ashley Rome, Rhianna Rome; and ten great grandchildren.
Preceded in death by parents, Ludger Jean and Marie Therese Rome Rome; son, Donavan, three sisters, Hazel Trosclair, Earline Berthelot, Thelma Abadie; seven brothers, Lovincy,Louis, Harold, Ludger III, Ronald, Clarence and Lester Rome.
He lived a very good and exciting life traveling and working in many foreign countries retiring from oversees but still too young to give up. He left Plaquemine when he was 21 yrs old to work in Venezuela staying several years. Upon returning he opened a dry cleaning business in Port Allen (which is a town he dearly loved). He lived in port Allen 6 yrs but still had overseas on his mind so he went to Vietnam, Iran, Spain and other countries. He ended up in Africa where he stayed for some time. While in Africa he had a close call. He was on an oil rig when it had a blow out (same as BP). It was 2am when the well blew. The drill pipe came out of the hole and landed over the quarters he was sleeping in. People were frantically running around. The rig didn't catch on fire so they remained on board. At daylight they moved the rig 2000 ft from the well that blew out. It took 6 months to kill the well. That was an experience he never forgot. He went to Grand Isle where he owned and operated Rome's lounge and enjoyed out his life.
