• Notes

  Married: John Woodard Robert, Sr., 89, left this mortal world to join the love of his life and bride, Eva, in Eternal Heaven. He was predeceased by his parents, J. Bowen and Emma J. (Thompson) Roberts; and twin great-grandsons, Matthew and Michael Roberts. Mr. Roberts is survived by three children and spouses. John W., Jr. and Carolyn, Arlington, Tex., Jeremy L. and Lucille, Binghamton, N.Y., and Sandra G. and Rev. Keith Hudson, Villanova, Pa. He is also survived by seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. John was born in VanBuren, Ark., and during the Depression years, he ventured to N.Y. with his young family in search of better job opportunities. He became one of the original employees of Link Aviation and during World War II supervised the radio department. He retired from Link's in 1971 to devote his time to his love of beekeeping and developing his honey sales business. With the assistance of his wife, Eva, they distributed honey to many stores throughout the N.Y. and Pa. area. There will be a private funeral service at Barber Memorial Home, Inc., 428 Main St., Johnson City. Thank you to all the staff at Willow Point Nursing Home for the loving care they provided to both John and his wife, Eva, in their final years
