It is with heartfelt sorrow that Ron Roberts son of Frederick W Roberts announces the passing of his father. The Roberts Family has lost a core piece of their foundation. Frederick W Roberts passed away from Cancer after a long hard fought battle on Tuesday, July 5, 2022. His wife Robin Roberts, son Ron Roberts and granddaughter Samantha Roberts have been by his side throughout his battle, encouraging and supporting him through this trying time. Fred's love for his family will never die and was shown throughout his life with grace and honor. The Roberts family may have a piece of the foundation missing but the strength and support they have together will forever stand.
