Roosevelt and his brother and sisters grew up on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Roosevelt received his formal education in the Northampton County Public School System. He later moved to Bridgeville, Delaware, and made that his home. He pursued his career with Kraft Company and Campbell Soup Company until he retired.
Roosevelt loved working and did not miss a day from work. He always said, "Work don't hurt you."
As years passed, Roosevelt attended Trinity Holiness Church, under the leadership of the late Bishop Thomas Thompson. He later found a church home near where he lived. Upon attending that church, he joined Mount Olive Baptist Church and gave his life to the Lord. Roosevelt loved playing music and singing, which is what he did in the church.
