With great sadness, our family announces the passing of Frank F. Roberts on July 21, 2006. He was born on August 11, 1921, in Eagle Grove, Iowa, but was a Sacramento resident for over 55 years. He graduated from Nevada City High School in 1940 and served in the US Navy from 1942 to 1945. He worked for the Pacific Telephone Company for 30 years and then enjoyed 30 years of active retirement that included several cruises and trips to Europe. His beloved wife Cecelia Gisler Roberts, his parents Jay and Isabelle Roberts, and his sister Dorothy Juliff preceded him in death. He was the loving father of Bernie "Butch" Talbot and his wife Julianne and the grandfather of Kristin Anne Talbot. He was kind and loving, full of life, and quick with a smile or laugh. His close friends and his family, including brothers, Morris Roberts of Phoenix, Oregon and Harry Roberts of Glendale, Arizona, and his many nieces and nephews will miss him greatly. He had 50 years of Masonic Lodge membership and was also a member of the Ben Ali Shrine. Other affiliations include the American Legion and the South Sacramento Moose Lodge. A memorial service will be held on Monday, July 31, 2006, at 10:00 a.m. in the chapel at East Lawn Memorial Park, 43rd Street and Folsom Blvd. Remembrances can be made to the Northern California Shriners Hospital for Children, 2425 Stockton Blvd., Sacramento, CA 95817.
