He was the owner of Poor Rob's Dairy Treat for a number of years and was a member of the Downtown YMCA where he was affectionately known as the mayor. He was a member of Wayman AME Church and later joined Upshaw AME Church where he attended until his health began to fail. Special thanks to Rook and Hattie Few, Jamie Spencer, the YMCA family, Kaylee Cassidy, Lillian

Deepest sympathy to the Roberts family. No more waiting for that seat at the table for Carl. He will have a permanent one where he can reveal all of the royals, straights, full houses, and flushes that his soul can bear. He will be dearly missed by family and friends. May He Rest In Peace.

Carl I never met you or even talked to you, but I feel like I know you. My sister and brother-in-law loved you and talked about you all the time. Hattie and Cam Few loved you. I feel like I´ve lost a brother. No more Thursday night fun with Carl. I know you are with Jesus now but you will forever be in their hearts. My condolences to the family of Carl Roberts. May he rest in peace.

Carl, not a day goes by that there is something that reminds me of you. With tears in my eyes, I must remember that you are no longer in pain or suffering and I should rejoice in your homegoing . You were truly a friend and like a big brother to Rook and I. I will miss our trips to Jack's casino every Thursday and our many times of just being together....you will forever be in our hearts....our forever friend and brother...R.I.Heaven Carl.
