I could not list the five greatest men I have ever known without Carey Roberts name being on the list. It is a rare gift for someone to always inspire others to be better people. Carey Roberts had that gift. He will be missed by more than you will ever know. To all his family and friends, I offer my deepest condolences. Hollis Elder
