Albert 'Al' Romero
Albert "Al" Romero, a Lincoln native who made a name for himself in Santa Fe as the longtime chief clerk of the House of Representatives and also as state auditor, died Tuesday.
Romero, who passed away after a brief illness in Santa Fe, served as the House's chief clerk from 1959 to 1983. He then successfully ran for state auditor and served one four-year term in the mid-1980s.
He was remembered Tuesday as a man who was enthusiastic about his roles in public service.
"Al was a great human being... He had some tough beginnings, but he got an education and was a very professional public servant," said House Speaker Ben Lujan, D-Santa Fe.
Romero also worked for the city of Gallup in its finance department and in state government's Local Government Division. He served as a trustee during the early years of Santa Fe Community College and as a board member for the Space Hall of Fame in Alamogordo.
Romero was born in Lincoln but grew up in Roswell and served as a paratrooper in World War II. He also was a certified public accountant.
Lujan said Romero helped him learn the ropes of the House of Representatives when Lujan was first elected to the Legislature in 1975.
Lujan and current House Chief Clerk Steve Arias said they both worked hard for Romero's successful race for state auditor, primarily because they admired Romero's hard-driving work ethic and his honesty.
"He was one of the most ethical, hard-working and seriously funny guys I've ever known," said Arias.
Arias, who worked for Romero for almost two decades, said Romero was a perfectionist who expected his employees to work as hard as he did.
"He was just an all-around great guy," said Romero's wife, Beatrice.
In recent years, Romero was known for his athleticism. He became an outstanding racquetball player and won many national and international tournaments in his division. He also was an avid sportsman and gardener.
A memorial service is planned at 8:30 a.m. Friday at the Berardinelli Family Funeral Chapel in Santa Fe.

JOHN H. BROTHERTON of Santa Fe died Friday. During World War II, he worked at the shipyards in California and then Pearl Harbor. After the war, he returned to Santa Fe and worked at Los Alamos, retiring from the Zia Company in 1981.
He was a 55-year member of the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters, Local 412. His hobbies included farming and raising racing quarter horses. He was a family man and spent many happy hours watching his children participate in high school sports. He is survived by his wife, Kathryn; daughter, Janey; and two grandchildren; sisters, Deanne Sutherland and Jeanne Boyd of Los Lunas; and brother, Carl Cannon of Moriarty. Services to celebrate his life will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday at the River of Life Ministries Church on N.M. 502, west of the Pojoaque Post Office.
