Jerry Paul Roberts

Jerry....what can I say? You lived life to the fullest and were envied by many. Our friendship over the years was special to me. The first time I met you was anothe one of those "JERRY" stories. In 1975, I was working in a bank in PA and you came walking in with a sawed-off shot gun! I said "You must be Jerry Roberts and that must be for Morris!" You confirmed...then I said "don't ever walk into a bank with a sawed off shot gun again"! From then on, we were friends. As everyone knows..the...

I've known Jerry since I was little, thru my parents and my Uncle Chuck, but it wasn't until I was an adult and started working at Casey's when I got to know Jerry. I spent many afternoons filling up his large coke and bringing him Casey's lunch special. I spent many days and nights laughing with him, Diana and the rest of the crew. There was always a new story to share and memories to be made. Jerry also took a few of my very dear friends under his wing and gave them a chance to shine when...

I can attest that Captain Jerry Roberts,Captain of the USS Sink or Swim, the only recognized Captain of the Susquehanna River upper branch, ordered me to collect triple fares and confiscate all jewelry from all passengers before handing out life preservers when we scuddled her.

Sailin, Captain!
Good People, Good Friends, who touched other peoples lives like you did, will always be fondly remembered.

I can still see you Jerry ,iceskating with our daughter Dia' on one of our many trips with you and Diana.You gave us many memories .Know we will always be there for Diana and Nicholas.

Always a pleasure to see his smiling face. I will never forget all the help that he gave me to rebuild my bridge that the flood of 2006 took down the creek. We will all miss his smile and kindness.

My dad Jerry Paul Roberts will be remembered forever. We miss you dad! You touched so many lives thru your work, relationships with friends & family. I remember riding in dad's duley and stopping at nearly every house on Main Street in Kirkwood as he made conversation with people he knew. I loved coming up in the summers (from NC) to spend weeks with dad getting up early to feed the horses . I was brought up in NC since I was 6 years old but still shared so many things in common with dad....

To Jerry's Mother, Diana, Nicolas and loved ones. We want to express our heartfelt condolences for the charming, kind and brilliant person you've lost. We had happy times with Jerry and Diana in Ithaca and on their boat and felt strongly his true love for the water and his personal power and caring. Part of his legacy will be the generous scholarship he and Diana gave to BCC in the form of a theater scholarship which has benefited a number of worthy students. Thank you again Jerry and we...
