I fenced epee with Michael who as a very tall leftie, was a wonderful challenge. My condolences to his family and friends.

Shocked and saddened to hear that Dr. Roberts is no more. As an anesthesiologist at Lowell General Hospital I had the privilege of working with him several times. He was a kind man and always a gentleman.

I´m so sad to see this today. So many wonderful memories of Dr. Roberts with his never ending optimism and kindness. He was always a breath of fresh air when he came on the floor. Back in a time when nurses were not as respected by physicians, he always listened to my opinion and made me feel like I was a true part of the care team. I needed that back then as a 20 year old fresh out of nursing school. Dr. Roberts was truly one of the good guys.

I am saddened to read of Dr. Roberts´ passing. I credit him with saving my life back in 1994 when he told me I had colon cancer...I was 43 years old and he expressed his concern for me and arranged for my surgery 2 days later. He actually took the time to call me in my hospital room to tell me even though my cancer had been malignant, it had not gotten into the lymph nodes and I would not require further treatment just careful monitoring. I have never met a more compassionate physician.....my heart aches for his wife and family.....God bless.

My deepest condolences to Dr. Robert´s family. I worked for him doing transcription when he first started his practice on Merrimack St. in Lowell. He was a very sweet man. RIP Dr. Roberts.

Such sad news. Such a nice Doctor. I specifically remember our last conversation... He complimented me on a mohair sweater I was wearing at work ( Saints IMC) and this meant the world as my Mother had made it for me. I will never forget! Rest In Peace Doctor Roberts. You were very well liked and respected.
