On behalf of Epting Events and the entire catering and event planning community, we would like to extend our sincerest condolences to the Roman family on the loss of Mike Roman. He passed away on the morning of June 24.
Heavily involved and passionate about NACE, the National Association for Catering and Events, Mike once served as director at large. While in that position, he helped to transition NACE from an organization to a true community. This strong sense of community continues on today and we will forever be grateful for his contribution. Mike was a man who never took himself too seriously and loved to throw parties. His love of throwing parties and showing people a good time was evident in everything he involved himself with.
Many of us in the industry will remember Mike Roman as one of our greatest mentors. He was always a resource for catering advice, but more importantly, he was a great source of joy and laughter.
“To be nobody-but-yourself — in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else — means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.” – e.e. cummings
