Allen was born December 18, 1943 in New Jersey, grew up in Tucson, Arizona, but spent his adult life in California. He was married in 1978 to Beth Roberts and together they raised their 3 wonderful children and a multitude of Golden Retrievers.
Allen loved reading, the beach, eating out in nice restaurants, Kiwanis, going to movies, paddle tennis, pickleball, spending time with his family, good wine, and the occasional gin and tonic. He was known for a great smile and a sometimes hilarious sarcastic sense of humor. He was an incredible father and husband.
Allen had a variety of careers over his lifetime including small business owner, realtor, and computer programmer. One of his proudest career achievements was when he was awarded a United States Patent for work he did while at Xerox Corporation.
Allen is survived by his wife of 42 years, Beth Roberts, his children Kelly Wannier, Chris Roberts, and Michael Roberts, his son-in-law Tim Wannier, and his grandchildren Callum and Lachlan Wannier. Allen is also survived by two of his brothers, Lyle Roberts and Bert Roberts.
The family will be holding a small private celebration of life memorial when it is safe to get together. In lieu of flowers please send donations to the Kiwanis Club of Lincoln Foothills in memory of Allen Roberts to the address below.
