Let’s just say the man could talk.. and talk and talk. You knew if you started talking to John Roberts you were going to be there a good while. He was a proud father and he enjoyed talking about his kids. He even became like a dad to all his kids closest friends. He referred to them as his adopted kids. He had a heart of gold.
