Lawrence H. "Larry" Roberts

Thinking of you all.

My condolences. Had him for English at ELHS. Great teacher, great sense of humor.

Coach Roberts was my football coach at Kingwood. He was a great guy with wonderful sense of humor. We both drove MGBs and we both said we need one day a week to fix all the little things that would go wrong. Between us we had one working car ! May God Bless you Larry !

Larry Roberts was a great teacher, who encouraged students to be the best they could be. His class was fun, mixed with dedicated work. He also was able to effectively teach and encourage students who had a wide range of abilities. He had a life well lived and made a positive difference in many lives. As a former student, I remember him fondly, and I extend my condolences to his family.

Larry was one of a kind human being. I had him as a teacher, and later on was a fellow colleague and teacher at K-O. His effervescent personality included a remarkable sense of humor, a beautiful comedic quality, a deep and abiding commitment to and faith in his students over the years, and a profound love and caring for family and friends. What a privilege to know Larry. Love to Debbie and his entire family. Tommy Redden
