Coach Roberts was my baseball coach at Incarnation for a number of years. He was a caring, kind, and thoughtful mentor. I enjoyed being on his teams and I now use many of his lessons when coaching my own kids or other players today. He was a tremendous leader. Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss.

Coach Roberts always taught us about the right way, the right goal and the right method. Fittingly, every time he drove us to one of our away basketball games, Do You Know the Way to San Jose ended up playing on his favorite radio station. A song about what matters most in life and the gentle reminders to help you get there. And thanks to Coach Roberts most of us did.

Katie, John and David,
We were saddened to hear of Jack's passing. Jack was truly a great guy, always having something positive to say. I know he loved his family very much, especially his grand children. He now will be with Peggy forever. Our prayers are with you all.
Love,
Jack, Kelley, Melissa and Scott

Maura and I have been talking about our memories of Jack and Peggy and how they were such an integral part of what we've always called our extended Melrose family. I can see them at our Christmas parties and other gatherings sharing laughter and the joy of all of us being together. We're also glad that Katie gave us the opportunity in the last few years of visiting with Jack at Betty Culbert's home in Hingham. I'm so sorry that
