Richard (Buddie) Gromer

  Services for Richard (Buddie) Gromer were held at Warren Meadows
Chapel in Many, on January 30, with Masonic graveside services at
Memorial Parker Cemetery in New Iberia, on February 1.

  Buddie was born in Maxell, Oklahoma, April 21, 1922, and died at
his home on Toledo Bend, January 28, at age 68. He was a surveyor
for Amerada Petroleum Corp. for 27 years, in the exploration
department, and his work took him all over the United States.
Exploration was terminated in 1971, and he and his wife Carroll
moved to Toledo Bend, and developed Tranquility Bay Marina, which
he owned for five years, before selling to retire there, where he
continued to enjoy fishing, gardening, and good friends for 15
years.

  In addition to his wife Carroll, he is survived by sons, Jack
Gromer and wife Becky of Baton Rouge, Don Gromer and wife Judy;
and 2 granddaughters, Mindy, and Lindsay of New Iberia; one
brother, Ray Gromer and wife Wilma of Hobart, Oklahoma; one
sister, Marjorie Russell and husband Joe of Winter Park, Florida;
mother-in-law, Buddy Foltz of Hobbs, New Mexico, as well as
several nieces and nephews.
