Dr. Jack Roberts

Gone now 21 years but still missed by those who knew him best

Jack Roberts was my friend. His friendship was special and transformative to me. I still remember well the many discussions and meals at his home. While I am not a musician, I can attest to his teaching ability because he taught me many things that have enhanced my life. I knew Jack for about 15 years and only heard him play piano once. One Sunday morning he called and asked if I would like to hear him play. He told me to be at his house 15 minutes later and I rushed over. He allowed me to...

It´s difficult to imagine that Jack has been gone 21 years. He is fondly remembered and truly missed

Ofrering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

As a piano student at NTSU from 1979-1983, I had the privilege of having Jack Roberts as one of my piano literature teachers. He was always encouraging to me as a young performer, and I have not forgotten his kind and words. He was also a good friend to my dear piano teacher, Mary Nan Mailman, and was a well-respected faculty member. He will be missed!
