Not sure what to say?

Dr. Don Roberts will always be significant in our lives. He was supportive to me as I led the Adopt-a-School and education programs at the Star-Telegram. He will be missed.

What a great leader. I worked in F.W.I.S.D while Dr. Roberts was superintendent. He mad everyone feel important. When I was choir director at DeZavala Elementary School our choir did a special concert for Dr. Roberts and his wife. He later spoke of the concert and the district administrator's meeting and how great a job we were doing at DeZavala. He will be greatly missed.

To the family of Dr. Roberts
We want to express our deep sadness at the passing
of Dr Roberts. He was always a gentleman with a kind, caring spirit. It was a great honor to have served on the Fort Worth ISD Board of Education while he was Superintendent. He was someone that we always admired and looked up to. He was a true leader for our children in Fort Worth.
He will be missed by all. Your family is in our prayers.

To the Family of Dr. Roberts:
I worked as an Administrative Assistant under the watch of several Superintendents. Dr. Roberts was truly a gentleman. He never failed to acknowledge you even walking down the hallways. I always had such high respects for him. His legacy will continue in FWISD. I am sorry for your loss. I know he will leave a void in each of your lives. I feel so blessed to have worked in a district lead by such a leader.

To the family of Don Roberts:
I`ve heard many educators profess a belief in all childrens potential to learn but Dr. Roberts was exemplary in his efforts to make it a reality. If not for his faith in me and the guidance he provided I know that my years of service in alternative schools would have been seriously compromised.The legacy of Don Roberts will echo far beyond our time on this planet and for that we are blessed.

To the Family of Dr. Roberts:
I will always be grateful to Dr. Roberts for supporting me as the first female principal of Paul Laurence Dunbar High School. He was truly a gentleman. You have my prayers during your hours of bereavement. Mrs. Roberts. you were always so pleasant and kind whenever we had the opportunity to chat.
