I spoke several years back to the now late Doris Roberts, Glen "Fireball" Roberts widow. I remember one thing that she said to me about Glen, that really hit home. She said that he passed away doing what he loved, and that this brought her peace.Rest in Peace, Glen "Fireball" and Doris RobertsPastor KenRacers Reunion Chaplain
