Richard Floyd Roberts (Richie), 54, passed away peacefully on March 12, 2020 at Memorial Medical Center, surrounded by family.

Richie grew up in Garden City, but lived in Bloomingdale at the time of his passing.  He was employed by Roberts Truck Center.

Richie loved downtown Savannah and enjoyed many afternoons with his canine friends Bogey Blue and Sam, talking to tourists and friends. Richie never met a stranger and everyone liked him!  His other favorite pastime was fishing. Whether it was a pond, lake, fresh or salt water, he found   happiness on the water. More than anything, Richie loved "Family".  His memories of spending time in Portal as a child and many memories of family gatherings during the years were ever present in his thoughts.  Granny Margaret was always his special person.
