EDWARD ROBERTS

ROBERTS--Edward.

Ted Roberts died on February 10 in hospice care at Brookdale Battery Park in New York City. He was born in Paterson, NJ on May 21, 1933, son of Dorothy Munier Roberts and Edward Roberts. In his final four days he was visited by his brother Donald M. Roberts, his only sibling, and his nieces Sarah M. Roberts and Martha G. Roberts and his nephew John A. Roberts. He was predeceased by his parents and a nephew, also named Edward Roberts. Ted grew up in Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ and attended Princeton University from which he graduated, summa cum laude, with a degree in Art History. He also graduated from Harvard Law School after five years of service in the United States Navy as an officer and carrier aircraft pilot. For most of his business career he was a partner of the New York law firm Kelley, Drye & Warren where he specialized in corporate trust matters. Ted considered himself fortunate to have been able to live most of his life in his own manner and upon his own terms. His death, too, was in his own manner and upon his own terms. In keeping with his wishes internment in the Roberts family plot in Valleau Cemetery, Ridgewood, NJ will be private. A Spring reception in his honor is being planned. In lieu of flowers gifts may be made to Princeton University, Class of 1960.
