James Roberts Obituary
James was born on February 21, 1965 in Gouverneur, NY to Francis E. and Irene M. (Rice) Roberts. He graduated from Edwards Central School in 1984 and then went on to attend College at North Country Community College and then Mater Dei College. After college, Jim started working for the St. Lawrence County Bridge Crew until his retirement in 2020 at the age of 55. In his free time, Jim liked to go hunting and he loved going around to various auctions.
Surviving is his mother, Irene; three brothers, Earl, David and Michael Roberts; a sister, Debra Roberts and several nieces, nephews and cousins. He is predeceased by his father, Francis.
There will be a graveside service for Jim at Fairview Cemetery in Edwards later in the spring. Arrangements are entrusted to French Funeral Home, Edwards. Condolences may be shared online at www.frenchfuneralhomes.com.

I am so sorry that Jim has passed away. Please accept my sympathy and prayers for the Roberts Family as you go through this pain of loss. He was always polite and pleasant and very skilled at making quality improvements on his house. It was a pleasure to see and talk with him as I used to walk my little dog, Scotty, around the Edwards village.
