Mr. Roberts was born in Portsmouth, VA, raised in a military family and lived in six different U.S. states.

He was an avid golfer, life-long fisherman and enthusiastic amateur snow skier. In addition, Mr. Roberts was a life-long fan and supporter of the Washington sports teams, including the Nationals baseball and the Capitals hockey organizations, as well as the Washington football franchise.

Mr. Roberts was a long-time resident of the Manchester Park Circle (Alexandria) neighborhood and very much enjoyed being a part of his close community for almost 30 years.

Mr. Roberts was well known for his exuberant personality, humorous talkative nature and caring interest in those around him. He will be much missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him.

A private memorial gathering for family and friends is planned for April.
