Roman was always willing to give of his time and share his insights with students and colleagues. In the early 1960s, when several Brazilian universities were establishing modern research activities in materials science, Roman invited several physicists from Brazil to join his research activities in the U.S. and also visited their home universities. His kindness to friends and strangers alike will not be forgotten. After a talk given by a young scientist, Roman, even if he had no questions or scientific comments to make, would introduce himself and say how much he enjoyed the talk. Roman's warm and generous personality, his scientific contributions, and his infectious booming laugh will long be remembered by those who knew him.
