Condolence: Definitely a teacher our kids and we remember. Sorry for your loss. May God wrap His loving arms around you in the days to come.

Condolence: My sincere condolences for your loss at this time. May you find comfort in your loving memories, and in God's promise to soon " swallow up death forever " and " wipe away the tears from all faces." (Isaiah 25:8) With my deepest sympathy, Karen

Condolence: Will miss him. He was a great teacher and Coach always made me smile.

Condolence: Janice and I send our love and sympathy. We cherish our memories of our years together in Enid and lots of tacos and card games around the dining room table. We remember you coming to see us after we moved to Ohio, and coming back to see you when we returned to Phillips for Ministers' Week. Remember when you came to see us in Nixa and Abby fell down the basement steps? Good times, good memories. Blessings to all of Gary's loved ones and friends. John and Janice Johnson

Condolence: We are sorry for the loss of Gary. Gary & Arlene went to Florida with the Band and was a good van Driver. We will always remember him as our kids teacher and a fellow Emmanuel Baptist Church member. He will be missed by all. Our sympthy goes out to the family.

Condolence: I have known Gary since I was 6 yrs.old. He was my bus driver all through elementary school and my brothers teacher and my teacher. Although I have been away from Enid now for 25 years my family has always kept me up to speed with him...until FB. I loved catching up with him and chatting with him on FB. I loved all of his posts about education, his lovely wife Arleene, and his girls and grandbabies. He always made me smile or chuckle. He will be sorely missed. He was one of the greats.

Condolence: Gary...which will forever be "Mr Roberts" to me (even though he insisted on me calling him Gary) will be greatly missed! Gary truly impacted thousands of lives including my own! I have prayed and will continue to pray for Arlene and family! God Bless each of you!! Keith

Condolence: Mr. Roberts(Gary)took about 10 of us male 6th graders to a farm by Carmen about 1976 for an entire weekend of camping and being outdoors. It was a fun, learning weekend. It made such an impression on me and it was only for the weekend. It would be unheard of in today's times. We got to fish, explore, hike, throw rocks in the pond, etc. He made a bigger impact on me as a teacher than any other teacher and I never really got to thank him for that. I am fortunate to be one of his past students.

Condolence: there are so many wonderful memories from church, from you all working with the youth. church dinners, socials, kids, United Supermarket, the great influence you had on my kids thru youth group and at United Supermarkets. sitting behind you in church watching you show your love and compassion not just for your family and extended family members but the LORD. it showed in your actions, your words. your friendship I will always treasure till the Lord calls me home as well. May the Lord guide, comfort your family at this time and in the days ahead. may they be allowed to know HIS presence . in HIS Carol McNeese
