As family and friends, we will miss his love, devotion, friendship and sense of humor. We take comfort in his strong faith and devotion to God during his life on earth and can only imagine his joy and wonder at entering the gates of heaven and we know that we will see him again. May he rest in peace.
He was preceded in death by his parents and sister, Ruth "Pete" Roberson.
