I want to express my condolences to Kari and to the extended family of Wilbert Roberts on behalf of myself, my mother, Barbara Hayes, and my sister, Peggy Hayes. I will always remember Mr. Roberts as not only my best friend’s father but as an early role model of a good father, good neighbor, and a good citizen. He and Mrs. Roberts were kind, welcoming, interesting to talk with and learn from, and were great neighbors and friends. Mr. Roberts was a police officer (CPD) and so made the community feel safer by his presence. Knowing an African American police officer as a young girl also made policing seem accessible and not scary. I really appreciate my memories of him. All my love to his family. Love, Michele Hayes
