Lawrence Bernard Roberts

Rachel, I so vividly remember the kindness of your dad and mom while I would be visiting at your house. He would always have some kind words and a smile for me as we went off to play! His love for his family was always clearly evident. He was such an influential French and history teacher too. He just had a nice calming encouraging manner at all times. Very sorry to hear of your loss. May the many memories help you through a difficult time. Hugs to you and please give your mom a hug from me...

Mr Roberts was my Home Room teacher. He was a positive influence in my life. He was a great teacher and highly respected by all his students. I was saddened to hear of his passing. My sincere condolences to his family.

I want to thank everyone for all the kind memories and thoughts you have shared about my dad. It really means a lot. Rachel Roberts

Mr Robert´s was simply the best. Northampton had or has the best teachers. I remember him and his classes like it was yesterday. I wish we had more souls like this man. He left a lasting impression with me forever. My condolences to his family and friends. This is a huge loss.

The best of the human spirit lived in Mr. Roberts. I remember his kindness and his encouragement to develop individual strengths that have stayed with me these fifty years. May a part of his goodness live on in each of us.

To "Mr. Robert's" family, my deepest condolences to you at your sad loss. I was one of Mr. Roberts' history students at JFK and have often thought of him as one of my favorite and most influential teachers. He made history exciting and he made it stick. His warmth and smile have lasting resonance, even these decades later. Wishing you comfort and peach in all good memories of this wonderful man and teacher.

Mr. Roberts was one of my coaches for baseball and basketball when I was at JFK. I broke my thumb just prior to tryouts for 9th grade basketball. He had me come to all the tryouts even though I wasn't allowed to participate. After tryouts he put me on the roster. I don't know of many coaches who would have given a player a break like that. Yet he did. RIP Mr. Roberts.

Dear Kathy, we were so sorry to hear of Larry's death. The glowing, sincere tributes from his former students listed below should give you great comfort. My memories of Larry are limited to a few glimpses of him smiling ear to ear after returning from a ride and then making himself scarce while we had our PEO meetings. I know you both shared a lifetime of fond memories. May those memories be of comfort now as you move forward with the love and support of your family and friends. Most...

Thank you Mr. Roberts for your dedication and your amazing teaching abilities. I always enjoy going to your class and when you´re a kid of that age and junior high/middle school you´re kinda hard to deal with sometimes, but the kids never acted it up in your class and they always respected you you were kind and gentle And we learned so much from you. Thank you for dedicating your life it to students later on I worked in education too I´d like to think that teachers like you help me see what...
