Today I went to have my teeth cleaned and thought to myself one day I'm going to go to Dr. Roberts and learn that he has passed away. Today, Laurie, informed me that Dr. Robets had indeed passed away. I had been going to Dr. Roberts since the 70's for all my dental needs until he "retired" and moved to Arlington. My condolences to the Robert's family; I miss you my dear friend! Love CK, Hurst, TX.

Sandra - I am so sorry for your loss - not only will you miss the love of your life, you won't be able to have new jewelry! :) I think of you every time I pass your home. Love you! Brenda Cendrick Hernandez

Ralph was my dear dear friend. I love him and will miss him. However, i cannot be too upset to lose my dear friend to Jesus. It is the ultimate defeat of death.

Dr Roberts was my dentist from the 70's until he retired. He was always so upbeat and friendly that I actually enjoyed going to the dentist. I always loved the conversations that went on over my open mouth, many I wished I could join in. My favorite memory though was how he would always pat my arm and tell me what a good girl I was. I always loved that. Makes me smile even now. He was a good one and the world is a bit darker without him in it.

I have great memories of going on mission trips as a teenager with First Baptist Euless back in the late 60's and early 70s. Dr. Robert's was always such a good mentor and faithful servant for the Lord and His people. Condolences to the family.

Sherry and I offer our prayers and special thoughts for the family at this truly sad time. Yet, because Dr. Roberts was such a great Christian and lived by faith, hope, and love, we join him and the family in knowing we will be united again, when we all sit together at the Lord's Victory Table!

We always enjoyed seeing Ralph and Sandra at church when we would share a few moments of Christian love and friendship, always topped off with hugs and laughter. It was always a pleasure to talk with Ralph and Sandra, and Ralph would always have something funny to share! We will surely miss him! God Bless Sandra and the family.

With the Love of Christ!

My heart and prayers go out to Sandra and family. I thought so much of Ralph (Dr. Roberts.) We had many a good conversation while he took care of my teeth.. His Christian faith he shared freely along with much humor. The more I came to know Sandra I loved her! He'll be dearly missed, but; as my dad (Blease) always said of his Christian friends: "This isn't goodbye, only good night; see you in the morning!"

My deepest sympathy to Dr. Roberts' family. I adored this man. He took care of my dental needs for 40 years. He and my Dad, Al Price, used to go golfing together. He was like a second Dad to me. May God give comfort to his family as they mourn his passing. He will now reside in the Balcony in the most Holy Mansion with our Lord and Savior.
