I have an Indian passport. I used to have a Romanian residence permit, which has expired. Now, I have an EEA family permit for five years issued by the UK. I am living with my Romanian wife and son in London, and we all want to go visit Romania, but first my wife and son will be leaving. After they have left, I want to travel alone for only 8 days from Heathrow Airport. Do I need to first apply for a Romanian visa for entry, or I can go with my valid passport and EEA residence permit?

1Do you mean that you have a residence card? The EEA family permit is issued for six months.– phoogDec 11, 2017 at 1:50

As stated in Timatic, the database used by airlines:
Visa required, except for passengers with a family member residence card issued by Switzerland or another EEA Member State. The card must be issued to family members of a national of Switzerland or an EEA Member State. They are visa exempt for a maximum stay of 90 days and must travel with or travel to join the national of Switzerland or EEA Member State.
So no, you do not need a visa for Romania. However, you need to bring proof (phone number, other documentation) that your Family is in Romania and that you will join them.

1@user9771 You must travel to join your family members, which you will do because they're travelling first. Bring documentation proving they're there and are waiting for you– CrazydreDec 11, 2017 at 15:10
