Thomas B. Roberts - "Flyboy"
Nov. 9, 1917 - Sept. 4, 2009

Recipient of the WWII Distinguished Flying Cross

We toast our hearty comrades who have fallen from the skies, and were gently caught by God's own hand to be with him on high.

To dwell among the soaring clouds they've known so well before, from victory roll to tail chase, at Heaven's very door.

As we fly among them there, we're sure to hear their plea - to take care, my friend, watch your six, and do one more roll for me.

Celebration of life service will be 2 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 10, 2009, at the Prescott VA Chapel.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to Prescott VA Hospice, 500 N. Highway 89, Prescott, AZ 86313.

Sunrise Funeral Home was entrusted with the arrangements. Please visit www.sunrisefuneralhome.com for T. Roberts' online guestbook.
