Gilbert Romine Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 13, 2010.

ARLINGTON, TEXAS -- Gilbert F. "Gil" Romine Jr., 70, of Arlington, a dentist, died Sunday, Feb. 7, 2010, at a hospital in Dallas following complications from surgery.
Funeral: 10 a.m. Monday, Feb. 15, at The Church on Rush Creek. Interment: 1:30 p.m. in Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery, with full military honors. Viewing: 9 a.m. Monday at the church.
Dr. Gilbert F. Romine was born Nov. 30, 1939, in Kermit, the son of the late Willie Corena Hayes and Gilbert F. Romine Sr. On July 16, 1967, he married Jane Claire Woodall, who survives.
He graduated from Stephen F. Austin High School in Houston in 1958 and went on to enlist and serve in the Navy aboard the USS Oklahoma City as an electronics technician. After leaving the Navy, he attended Lee College in Baytown and graduated from the University of Texas Dental School in Houston in 1969.
He worked in private practice in Baytown and Liberty until 1973, when he accepted a commission in the Navy as a dentist. He served in that capacity on the cruiser USS Oklahoma City and aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy. He was stationed on naval bases in Japan, the Philippines, Guam, Monterey, Calif., Corpus Christi, Norfolk, Va., Charleston, S.C., and his final duty station was Naval Air Station Dallas until 1996, when he retired as a commander. In his service to his country he was awarded the Navy Good Conduct Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Naval Defense Service Medal, Humanitarian Service Medal and the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal.
Dr. Romine then served as a dentist for the Texas prison system and the Veterans' Administration. At the time of his death, he was working in private practice at the Pilot Point Family Dentistry Clinic in Pilot Point.
Dr. Romine was a member of the Church on Rush Creek in Arlington. He was loved and admired by all who knew him. He was devoted to his family, his friends and his animals. He loved to hunt out bargains at garage sales and estate sales, and was always finding "treasures" for his grandchildren.
Dr. Romine was preceded in death by his parents and a daughter, Scarlett.
Survivors: His wife, Jane Romine of Arlington; sister, Sandra Woods of Baytown; daughter and son-in-law, Stephanie and Rick Deese of Midlothian; grandchildren, Allison, Jonathan, Reagan and Jacob Deese of Midlothian; and numerous nieces, nephews and friends.

Charles Sutton

My name is Charles W. Sutton. I have been retired from the U.S. Navy (Dental Technician) for 19 years now. I was so fortunate to have met and worked with Doctor Romine when we were stationed @ NAS, Oceana.
He had/was the greatest personality I've met to this day. I often think about him. I always will. God Bless Your Soul Sir. I'll NEVER FORGET YOU! Charlie (That's how he addressed me)

I am so sorry for your loss. I did not know Dr. Romine, but he must have been a wonderful dad to have raised such an incredible Christian woman, Stephanie. Your family is in my prayers. May God Bless you and keep you close during this hard time.
