You have a great grandson that was born on May 28, 2009. He looks just like little Larry. If you were here you would have really enjoyed being with him he is too funny. But I know you already know because he is always talking to someone or you in the bedroom that you stayed in. Also he is always looking to the ceiling and talking. of course we don't know what he is saying but I am sure you do. It is so hard to believe that it has been 4 years since you've been gone. We still miss you and will never forget you. Love always, Lynnette and Family

Mr.Roberson:
I met Mr.Roberson when I was an eighth grade student at Roper Middle School (Ron H. Brown). He took the place of our American History teacher and he was hilarious.He made us do work-all the way through (and it was a lot) and was quick to throw us out in the hall if we didn't comply.He defintely DID NOT take any mess from anybody, including some of the boys who were always in trouble and otherwise scarred the other teachers. I especially remember a fight breaking out between two students who were boys in the class, and he, who wasn't very big, got in between them and said that they look like fools.LOL.He was right, and shortly thereafter put them out.He demanded respect but he had a sense of humour. To this day, we still talk about Mr.Roberson and we're shocked to know that he had passed because we speak of him all the time. I remember he put my 2 best friends out all the time and can't help but to laugh. He never, ever played favorites and we grew to love him. He definitely was one of the coolest, and I still remember him telling us about getting our lives together and getting an education. I'm a senior in college now and went away to school, but myself, nor best friend or anyone who was in that homeroom or had him 1st period that school year 98-99 will ever forget him. Rest In Peace Mr. Roberson.
