Obituary...............
John Anthony Goodman Roberts, Jr., or “Tony” as he was
affectionately called, passed away at age 50 on Thursday, June 27, 2019 at his
home in Coatesville, PA.
He was the husband of Jacqueline I. Roberts, with whom he
shared a beautiful 14 year marriage. Tony was the love of Jackie’s
life.
Born in Barbados in 1968, he was the son of the late John
Anthony Goodman Roberts, Sr. and the late Angela U. Gomes Roberts.
Tony graduated from Unionville High School in 1987 and spent
his summers in the Bahamas working as crew on his Uncle John’s fishing charter
boat.
Tony continued his education at West Chester University where
he graduated with a degree in Marketing in 1992. While in college he worked to
get his flight ratings at Chester County Airport. During that time, he also
worked at the airport fueling and prepping airplanes and gaining as much
experience as he could. He flew many private and corporate jobs before being
hired by Delta Air Lines on May 22, 2000. Tony flew the Boeing 727, MD-88, and
finally the Boeing 757/767 both domestically and internationally.
Tony was extremely dedicated to his career and worked
diligently to become a success.
In his free time, Tony enjoyed hunting with his friends and
family in Pennsylvania and on his 42 acre property in Ohio. His hobbies included
flying RC model airplanes, collecting diecast model airplanes, fishing, and
enjoying the company of his adoring family, his dogs, and close
friends.
