Publish in a newspaper
Tom was a student of politics. He was particularly passionate about local politics and was active in the North Smithfield Democratic Town Committee for many years. He was a communicant of St. John's Parish in Slatersville since childhood. Proud of his Irish heritage, he was a member of the Ancient Order of Hiberneans, the Sons of Irish Kings, and the Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick. He enjoyed golfing, boating, gardening, playing cards and teaching his ten grandchildren how to play checkers.
Tom's greatest passion was his family. He was a dedicated husband, father and grandfather. His wisdom, guidance, faith, and strength was unmatched and will be sorely missed. In addition to Carole, his wife of 61 years, he is survived by his four children and their families: Thomas and Betsy Roberts of Vienna, Virginia (Emma and Justin), Erin and Joe Venditti of Touisset, Rhode Island (Joseph, Annie, Julia, and Molly), Casey and Sabrina Roberts of Marshfield, Massachusetts (Casey and Haley), Peter and Jennifer Roberts of Glenview, Illinois (Abby and Katie). He was the son of the late Leo and Amelia Roberts.
