My deepest condolences on this sad loss.
May God give you the strength to face this challenge.
John will always be synonymous with the Palm and visitors will always marvel at both.

To all the Roberts family, May Hope, Faith and Wonderful memories be with you at this time of "searching" your inner thoughts and the why of this situation.
I am fortunate and very blessed to have many memories of John through a time of maturing from "college kids" to responsible adults. This remarkable journey began in the fall of 1965 at Georgia Tech. It was facilitated by our membership in the Kappa Sigma fraternity and it's brotherhood. As I reflect on the memories John and I created I am tempted to list a few. But it is not a few I would be compelled to list. Instead, it would be too many to relate. I am very proud to have created those memories with John. Foregoing such a list is probably wise as we together would later question our maturity and judgement in creating some of those memories-but created they were and, for me, they will be forever remembered and cherished.
John was a dedicated, committed, loving and proud father. It was with him that I progressed through those early years of fatherhood. We together watched our girls grow into responsible adults to be very proud of. My girls were saddened to hear of John's passing. They immediately recalled fond memories of weekend visits with the "Roberts Girls".
To John, my roommate in those early college years and their summers, the best man for both my marriages and a friend to share life's journey with; keep on that "running" to that brighter future and next challenge as I know you want all of us to do. With you gone John, know that a piece of our lives is missing. But it is not gone as it lives on in the memories you so graciously created with us all. Know also you are my "roommate and brother" in my heart and mind forever.
