Dear Roebuck Family,

I delivered meals to Mr. Roebuck for a number of years and just learned of his death. I always enjoyed talking to him. We talked about sports and he knew a lot more about them than I did! I was able to visit with him one last time in the hospital. My prayers are with you all. Scott Neal

Dear Roebuck Family,

We were very sad to hear Mr. John passed away. We delivered meals to Mr. John for several years, and always talked with him about OSU football, his time in the Army, and his family. We will miss him deeply.

Warmly,

The Carroll Family

To The Roebuck Family it was my pleasure to have know Mr. Roebuck for many years. I fondly I remember "hanging out" with the entire family there on E. Long Street joking with "Momma T", Steve, Tammy, Michelle, Mike, John, Herbie, Vanessa, and Tina and the whole crew (smile!). You all took me in as a part of your family. It is my prayer that God's comfort and richest blessings to each of you and love you all.
