William Edward Roberts Jr.

I am a cousin to Lesbia, and am saddened to learn of both hers and Bill's passing. They were wonderful people, and always a delight to talk with.

I hope the grandsons of Bill reads this. I am a cousin of his wife, Lesbia, and I did not know either of them had passed away. Lesbia is the one that did all the genealogy of the Cooper families. Through this connection is how we came to know Lesbia & Bill. We will be having our Nelson/Cooper/Wisdom reunion on June 9th and we would love for any of you to come. I was so sorry to learn of both of their deaths. Please accept my "Cooper" families sympathy.

Bill Roberts was my favorite boss. I worked with him at the Small Business Administration way back in the early 1960s. He was always kind and appreciative of good work. And I loved to smell the cherry scented tobacco he used in his pipe. Reminded me so much of my father's pipe. He was a good man.

Bill was a great friend and a fellow wine enthusiast. He and Lesbia were among the nicest people I've ever known, and I wish more were like them. We will miss them.

I ONLY KNEW HIM FOR A SHORT TIME, BUT HE WAS ONE OF THE FINEST PEOPLE I HAVE MET IN MY LIFE. I WILL ALWAYS ALWAYS REMEMBER HIS WARM SMILE AND CHEERFUL HELLO WHENEVER I WALKED IN THE ROOM. I HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY NOW AND BACK WITH MRS. ROBERTS. I KNEW HOW DEEPLY YOU MISSED HER EVEN WHEN OTHERS THOUGHT YOU DID NOT REMEMBER MUCH. GOD LOVE YOU AND KEEP YOU BOTH. LOVE CATHY LOAR
