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.

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. 

WE ARE SORRY TO HEAR BROTHER AND DEAR NEIGHBOR SAMUEL ROBERTS PASSED AWAY. HE WAS THE  PERSON YOU LOVE TO LIVE NEAR. HE WAS ALWAYS POLITE AND LOVE AND ALWAYS TALKED TO OUR DAUGHTER ABOUT EDUCATION AND HOW IMPORTANT SCHOOL WAS. SINCE HE SOLD HIS HOUSE AND MOVED AWAY I ALWAY SAW HIM WHEN HE VISIT HIS OLD NIEGHBORHOOD IN VARINA STATION SUBDIVISION. OUR CONDOLANCE AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.
