I was very sorry to hear of this news; Roman was one always quick with a smile whenever I had the opportunity to spend time with him - either in a work setting or out for some fun! I and my family will continue to say prayers for his family and friends - such a loss ... we need more Romans in the world! Chris

Dear Jackie, Emma, Libby and Mila, We send our deepest sympathies to all of you. Sayle of course noted, "He was my coach -- and he is the coach who taught me how to juggle!" We all fondly remember our time together, and Roman's patient yet competitive coaching style on the Hingham playing fields. He was a great example for fathers and coaches, and he will be sorely missed by all. Our hearts go out to all of you. Love, The Evarts

In the dozens of times that I played Roman or watched him play at the Boston Table Tennis Center, I didn't hear him make an excuse for losing a match or a point. What a man...

So sad to hear about Roman's passing. I played soccer with him for the last few years, and found him to be a true gentleman on and off the field. When we weren't talking about soccer, we'd talk about being the fathers of daughters, and Roman always impressed me with how deeply he loved his family, and how very, very proud he was of his girls. My deepest condolences to Roman's family; he was truly, a lovely person.

I am so very sorry for your loss, and I am deeply saddened by the sudden nature of it. Roman was quite proud of his family and spoke highly of the girls' accomplishments during our Sunday morning soccer games. I enjoyed his quick wit and talent on the soccer field. He was a fantastic player! I know we will all miss his presence. Peace to all of you as you adjust to your loss. Kindly, Linda Francis, soccer friend

Ben, Megan, Riley and Emily are heartbroken. Roman was a genuine, kind, all around great person with such a wonderful sense of humor. We will miss him greatly and send our love to all of his family and friends.

I can't really express how sorry I am about the loss of Roman. I am his former high school classmate and I saw him only on few occassions during last 20 years, but he was one of the nicest and kindest people I know. I still cannot believe we lost Roman. My deepest condolences to Roman's family.

I am truly, from the bottom of my heart, sorry for you loss. Roman was a true gentleman. Always kind. Had an infectious laugh and smile. Such a positive attitude. Skylar and I are blessed to have known him for the short time we did.

I am shocked and saddened by the loss. I have known Roman for many years through table tennis, have given Roman table tennis lessons through out the years. Roman was a fine student, always gave his best on and off the table. Will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Deep condolences to the family on behalf of fellow students from the high school. Roman will forever be a part of our memories.

So sad. I met Roman about 15 years ago and remember in our very first meeting learning about his passion for ping pong! And every meeting since, including the last one just this May in Boston, was filled with Roman's intelligence, quickness and respect for others. I will miss that.

Wanted to offer my sincerest condolences to Roman's family, friends, colleagues and anyone who had the good fortune of knowing and coming into contact with him. Roman was one of my clients for the last 14 years - and I always looked forward seeing him and his colleagues in his office and at our events. He had great wit, was super smart, always had a smile on his face, and I always enjoyed our interactions. What distinguished Roman was he always spoke about his family - his wife and 3 girls - and I know how important that was in his life. It permeated all of our discussions. Wanted to let you know how much we will miss him, and forever will keep him in our thoughts and prayers.

The words can't describe how sorry I am for your unexpected lost. I'm Roman's high school classmate and I was fortunate to re-connect with Roman after 20+years just this January, during his visit to Dallas. I've learnt instantly that Roman loved his life, he adored his wonderful wife and daughters , was passionate about playing table tennis and had a soft spot in his heart for dogs. His kind heart will not be forgotten. My deepest condolences to the entire Ranocha family.

Jackie, Emma, Libby & Mila - I am so very sorry to learn of your loss. I had the good fortune of calling Roman one of my friends here in Hingham but he was also a client for over 15 years. That photograph perfectly portrays Roman - he was always smiling. As quick to offer his help or assistance as he was with a witty remark. Kids -- What I will remember most is how proud he was of each one your accomplishments ... on the volleyball court, in the Continental Math League, or your love for reading. Anywhere you were -- school functions or athletic fields -- he was there. He was 100% dedicated to you and your success. Your father was a very special man -- I will miss his laughter and positive energy. - Jeff The Donnelly's (Jeff, Dana, Delaney, Genevra & Carter)

My condolences to Roman's family and friends. He was a very smart, caring and thoughtful person.

I'm stunned in disbelief about Roman's passing. He was a picture of health, athletic and full of energy. He was an exceptional human being: intelligent, good-natured, had a great sense of humor, was respectful and friendly to everyone. In 7+ years I knew Roman, we played numerous table tennis matches at Boston table tennis club. On Sundays we always played doubles together and he was my favorite doubles partner. We used to laugh and joke with our opponents and had a great time. I would like to offer my sincere condolences to Roman's wife, daughters, relatives and closest friends. I cant even begin to imagine what they are going through. Roman will be greatly missed by me and all of our table tennis community. RIP Roman.

To Jackie, Emma, Libby and Mila- Our deepest sympathies go out to you all at this most difficult time. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Chris, Pam, Natalie, Owen and Graham Sharpe

I know we've never met but I wanted to let you know what a wonderful person Roman was and I'm so sorry for your loss. Roman was a client of mine for more than 15 years and I had the opportunity to visit with him every year during my visit to Boston. I know he had a passion for ice cream (which we often ate during our meetings) but he always had a smile and was such a warm and caring person. I hope you know that we will all miss him very much. Respectfully, Steve Sakwa

Kdo zije v srdcich svych milych, je jen vzdalen. Citime s vami v techo tezkych chvilich. Uprimnou soustrast. Those we love don't go away. With heartfelt condolences and kindest thoughts, Helena and Michaela Duzikova, Frydek-Mistek

Heart broken for Roman and his beautiful family! Words can never express the sorrow. Don't have answers why God took him so early. But I'm assured that Roman's in safe hands and so do his family that he left behind. You will always be remembered Roman for the kindness and nobleness and your humility. I will always remember Roman for his kindness and humility. He also displayed fierce competitive spirit and passion for ping pong. May God bless his family and provide solace to all the ones he left behind. Rajesh Kulandesu

We came to know Roman by osmosis through our cherished friend, Donna Marovish. It is plain to see the world has lost a tremendous man, husband, father, son, brother and friend. We hurt for you in this loss and carry you with us in our hearts.

Heartfelt condolences! So extremely sad to hear this news. Roman was a client of mine since 2007 and he was always very gracious and kind. I certainly will miss him and hold his family in my thoughts and prayers. Andrew

I am so sorry for your loss. Roman was a gem. I played with him for the last couple years in Hingham and he always had a smile on his face (except when he was doing that damn cleanse!) he will be forever missed - good speed to your family. ❤️

I can't begin to express how sorry I am for your loss. Roman's been a big part of our personal Select family since Annika joined Libby's team 2 1/2 years ago. We'll miss him a lot.

Dear Jackie, Emma, Libby and Mila - Even though we are far away now in CA, we heard about Roman's passing and were so very saddened by the news. He was such an energetic and passionate soul, and we are blessed to have known him and your entire family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. May the wonderful memories of spending time with him comfort you during this very difficult time. Our deepest sympathies, Ervins, Laura, Marlena, Miks Ramanis

A beacon of light, beautiful inside and out, Roman, more than a friend, was like a big brother to me. Always with an infectious smile and laugh, he brought an enthusiasm for life that touched so many. Even at this most trying time, I am heartened by the fact that I have so many wonderful moments with Roman etched in my mind, and those memories will be with me forever and a day.

On behalf of my teammates on the Under Construction Football Club and all of the players in the Men's Over 40 league I want to offer my deepest condolences to Roman's family. We always had great, competitive matches with Roman and his passion for soccer was only matched by his good nature and positive spirit when the games were over. He will be deeply missed.

My sincere condolences. This came as a total shock to me because Roman kept himself in such good shape. I had many great table tennis matches with Roman and enjoyed his fiery competitiveness on the table and his amiable, friendly nature off the table. He will be greatly missed.

My sincere condolences. I knew Roman from the Boston Table Tennis Center. I admired his game, and his manner. He treated everyone, including lesser players like me, with respect.

So sorry to the Ranocha family for your loss.

For Roman & the Ranocha Family, My sincere condolences- I am very sorry for your loss- I know he was a very devoted, proud & loving husband and father I first met Roman back in 2010 @BTTC (Boston Table Tennis Center) & thought wow this is a pretty big dude that has a lot of game and some crazy hard loopin side spin shots We had fun practicing ping pong/TT on many a Sunday evening - Many times we were rivals in marathon double matches & sometimes we partnered up and won as a team We also played on a 3 player team event where we earned medals @MIT I enjoyed talking & joking a lot about sports and life & we definitely shared a similar competitive spirit, passion and love for the game of Table Tennis & Soccer as well Again best wishes to his wife, daughters & closest family & friends I will miss my Table Tennis friend RIP Roman- Steven Kasha

We are incredibly sorry for your loss and hold you in our hearts and prayers.

To all of the Ronocha family, we are so unbeliveably saddened to hear of Romans passing. We are sending love and prayers to all of you. We hope that the love of family, friends and the community surrounds you and gives you strength during this difficult time.

That photo of Roman is beyond perfect. It captures his loving, wise, and playful spirit. I miss him. The world is a lesser place without him. I am so, so sorry for your (all of our) loss.
