He fought a good fight and finished the race and now he has gone on to receive his prize of eternal life that awaits all who live by faith in Jesus Christ. Robbie was preceded in death by the love of his life, cherished wife of 43 years, Ann Joyce Roberts. He leaves behind the fruit of his and Ann?s life together ? daughter, Elizabeth Rose Giles and her husband, SFC John Giles of Ft.

He also leaves behind his brother, Harold Edward Roberts of Bangkok, Thailand, as well as other family members and many friends. Robbie loved his family very much and was very proud of them and the individuals that he saw them becoming. There is a vast difference between talking a good talk and living it. It is how you live your life that really tells the story of who you are. Robbie?s life spoke volumes of him, telling of a man who lived a life of integrity and strength, faith in God and devotion to his family.

From there he continued Federal Service with the United States Postal Service for 20 years before retiring. He has been an active member of the First Baptist Church of Gravel Ridge since 1978. Robbie taught those who knew him the meaning of love and devotion. Now the life he lived by faith, he is enjoying as he sees his Savior and those whom he loved so much that went on before him.
