I was a seminarian at Virginia Union from 1986 to 1989. Also, I lived two blocks from Garland Avenue Baptist Church. Dr. Roberts was a wonderful mentor and role model for me. His legacy is one of integrity, scholarship, service and a deep love for his students.
A Father's Love...
As we remember Pop Roberts on this his special day of transition, I am reminded of the love he had for his family. I was touched by the caring, loving words of admiration expressed as he performed the wedding ceremony for my daughter, Chrissy, and Sam, Jr.
We miss him dearly. May his memory last in our hearts forever.
