especially football. He also had a great love for dogs.
He was preceded in death by his mother Ms. Queen

After an honorable discharged from the Air Force as a
military policeman, he moved to Fort Pierce, FL to live his life.
John worked for Southern Film Extruder until his health failed.
He leaves to mourn his memories a loving wife Mrs. Virginia
C. Roberts; two sons Dexter Roberts (Chantel), Artavious
