Arthur Roberts was born on May 3, 1934 in Great Britain to Violet May (Lewis) and Arthur "Chick" Roberts. He passed away peacefully in his sleep, at the age of 91, on October 10, 2025.

He was curious and inquisitive to the very end, he lived his life to the fullest, and he pursued all of his hopes, dreams and hobbies to the maximum. He was a dedicated husband, father, master designer/draftsman, photographer, sailor, artist, handyman and published author. He derived great joy and satisfaction out of studying and modeling airplanes, cars, and boats of all kinds.

Arthur married Veronica June Heaps in December of 1957 and remained faithfully by her side until her death in November of 2018.

He is survived by his sister Beverley (Howard); his four children, Arthur (Sarah), Susan (Daniel), David (Brenda), and Andrew; eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Arthur is predeceased by his father, his mother, and his younger brother, Ron.

Arthur will be deeply missed and forever remembered for his sharp wit, entertaining stories, and larger-than-life personality.

No specific plans for a Celebration of Life service have yet been established.
