My mother walked into my office this morning, a darkness was upon her face, a mixture of sorrow and shock - "I have terrible news!" My dad, sitting in the office next door, was the one that told her and both were shaken over the tragedy.

Urban Insurance is a business my dad started over 50 years ago, throughout all of that time we always had some type of business connection, first with Marshall Romanz as Urban's accountant and then as an agent of his insurance company, a tradition that continued with Marc Romanz. The connection was no accident, Marshall and my father, Jerry, were friends dating back from grammar school.

Marc and I were both members of the "Second-generation" of the Chicago auto insurance world. We were not alone, it seems that this special niche was brought to life in the late 50s early 60s, largely by some 30+ people starting agencies. The numbers were small enough, their backgrounds often similar enough that people tended to know one another. Yes the competition could be fierce, yet that was always a mutual respect, and even a degree of comradely.

Marc and I were around the same age, shared the experience of working with family, and knew some of the same people.
Throughout the years marc frequently reached out with a kind word, offered help when he could. He always had a pleasant manner , quick to smile.

My heart goes out to his family and to all those lives will be less without him.

Marc,
It is because of the opportunity you gave me that I have excelled in the insurance business. You steered me on a path to a great career and I will never forget that. I will miss your many jokes that went over my head although you laughed at them loud enough for the both of us. Rest in Paradise Mr. Romanz.

My heart goes out to Marshall & Elayne and Marc's children. I remember him as a young man growing up accross the street from us on Tripp in Skokie. He maintained a close friendship with my sons Alan, Steven, Jeffery & Bradley over the years and was respected as a knowledgeable insurance businessman. May he rest in peace.

Marc, you played an important role in my professional life. I admire how you would always bring up my family by not only their first names but middle names as well. You taught me so much and I am forever grateful. Your family is in our prayers.

Will never be forgotten.

My condolences to the Romanz family. Marc was my friend, and I'll miss him deeply. One of the things I'll miss most about Marc is how he never met a stranger, only a friend he didn't know yet. His kindness, compassion, and exuberance were always contagious. Whenever I was feeling down, I knew I could call Marc and he'd make me feel better. Rest in peace, my friend. You will be missed.

Marc,
My Condolences go out to your family. You were such a good friend for so long. You were always there for me. Whatever mood I was in before seeing you, my spirits were always higher when I was with you.
We connected on so many levels. In fact, you could read my mind. You knew my down card more often than anyone else. You were a Master Table-Talker. You were a Master Talker in General! If I won, I always admitted to 5 or 10 dollars less, just to drive you crazy during your final tally.
Shortly after hearing the news, I was in Gridlock in Grayslake (Grayslock Gridlake) when a camper pulled in front of me. On the back in big red cursive was the name Lance. It was the first sign that although you have left, you will always be with us. Rest in peace, my Friend.

I was deeply saddened by the news of Marcâ??s passing. Working for Marc and Marshall at UCC I felt like familyâ?¦ I bumped into them at Subway on lunch break and was asked and welcomed to join them; I asked Marc just last month for a job reference and he replied â??Scott: I am honored to be a reference for youâ? - Anyone who knew Marc understood the compassion, sincerity and leadership that embodied the man. My heartfelt condolences to Marshall, Elayne, Molly, Jessica and the entire Romanz family.
