He enjoyed hunting and fishing, and spending time with his children and grandchildren telling stories from his younger days as a boy growing up in Kentucky as one of nine children, as a soldier in the Korean war, and as a mill worker at AK Steel, where he retired in 1991, after 41 years of faithful and loyal service. He is survived by his two children, a son, James Brent (Karen) Kiser, and a daughter, Dowanna "Dodi" (Floyd) Mullins. He is also survived by 1 sister, Judy Marie Mabry, and 1 brother, Odis "Bottle" Kiser, 5 grandchildren, Kelly (Curt) Brogan, Stephanie (Arnold) Blevins, James Tyler (Nicole) Kiser, Timothy Luke Mullins, and Ticcoa "Torri" (Dustin) Pigman, 12 great-grandchildren, Trinity, Zoe, Roma, Olivia, Damien, Isabella, Kirra, Shiloh, James, Nathan, Liam, and Adaea, and many nieces and nephews. "Romie" was preceded in death by his parents and 6 siblings, Elsie Brinegar, Sylvia "Sib" Reynolds, Willie "June" Kiser, Otis "Hooks" Kiser, Caroline Sue Kiser, and Diane Kaye Kiser.
