My grandfather was a wonderful person. He started so many traditions for our family. We watched Tintin, played with his Lionel trains every Christmas, and had eggs-Benedict every Thanksgiving. It will be hard without him, but I know where he his now, and am trying hard to be able to return to live with him...

The Holland Society of New York mourns the loss of its beloved member Dolphe Roome and wishes to express its condolences to his family and friends.
Andrew Terhune, President, The Holland Society of New York

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to the family. Jeremiah 29:11 assures us God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a real hope for the future. In the days to come may you find comfort in that hope.

Feeling the loss of a kindly, knowledgeable, family-minded man and historian.
 --Doug, Marcia and Donata Roome and family 

Pat and Dolphe helped me in my Primary class, and so did Kathy.  I was so grateful to them, and the kids loved it when they came.  Dolphe was quiet and kind, and I think everyone responded to his gentleness.   Another great soul who has moved on to bless others in the next realm.

My very best most wonderful  friend Dolphe Roome.  He helped me so very much over the years.  We shared life stories, feelings and insights.  Such an amazing kind man.  I miss him terribly, but I am comforted knowing Heavenly Father's Plan of Happiness and that Dolphe is now free of pain and in a wonderful place and I will see him again.  God Bless his dear wife Pat and all his family.

What a lovely, and loving, brother-in-law!  Such a gentleman.  I don't think I ever heard him raise his voice in exasperation, which is remarkable since we usually saw each other at big family gatherings where it would be so easy to lose it.
