We remember Blynn and Louise well and considered them good friends. Blynn had a jovial spirit. We shared many ideas. We’ll not forget his telling how he was hauled off to jail for leading a teachers’ protest. Have missed seeing him at church these last few years.

My sympathy for your loss. I enjoyed going to visit with your mom and dad—-i liked listening to them both and thought how interesting both your mom and dad are. They always were more than helpful searching for what i needed and even allowed me to take a peek. They were both wonderful people and cared deeply about each other. Again, my sympathy for your loss.

To the family, I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Roberts passing. I was a student here in New Haven at Wilbur Cross high school and he always put a fun perspective on whatever he was teaching and he was very easy to learn from. Our prayers are with you
