Richard was born on December 25, 1935, the only child of Richard Everette Roberson, Sr. and Othelle (Murphy) Roberson. He was reared in Dubach. He graduated from Louisiana Tech, and received his Master’s degree from University of Michigan. Richard was an accountant with a career that included jobs with several different companies, primarily in Louisiana. He took joy in traveling with his grandchildren and also enjoyed playing the piano, especially old hymns. He was a deacon in Fellowship Baptist Church. He loved his family and his Jesus. Richard was well known to be a man without “guile.” There was never any pretense with him. He was a man of integrity, trustworthy, always generous, and he lived simply. Richard was born twice and died once, when he went home to be with Jesus on June 21, 2024.
Richard is survived by his wife of 64 years, Frances; two daughters: Holly and husband Bryan Lowry of Dubach and Mary Ellen Buswell of Oklahoma City, OK; four grandchildren: Kimberly and husband Timothy Hotchkin of Centerton, AR, Brenna and husband Rudy Pena of Edmond, OK, Bryan Lowry, Jr. and wife Melanie of Lowell, AR, and Brent Buswell and wife Jordan of Lexington, VA; six great-grandchildren: Anna Lowry, Kendall Hotchkin, Scotty Lowry, Christian Pena, Everette Hotchkin and Mack Hotchkin.
