He was the son of the late John Edward and Emma Carrington Roberts, and was a veteran of WWII U.S. Army. Ned was a well known civic and business leader. His introduction to business began in 1946 when he moved to Clarksville to become a partner with his father in Roberts' Restaurant. In 1961, he bought his fathers share and became sole owner. In 1954, he also operated Fly-Deth Distributing Co. and during its operation, mailed over 20,000 mailers in one year, enough to get Clarksville Post Office reclassified as a First Class Post Office. Mr. Roberts not only invested in business, he helped others too. With his financial backing, the Clarksville Times, now the News Progress Newspaper was established and a medical clinic was put into operation, operated by Dr. Gillispie. Through his efforts, the Mecklenburg County Life Saving & Rescue Squad was able to obtain additional stretchers, thus eliminating wait time at hospitals. Innovations were the norm for Ned, he originated the name "Rib Eye Steak", but due to timing, failed to receive a trademark. He did, however, hold a trademark on "Chicken N Chips". Recognized as Outstanding Citizen of the Year, first by the Clarksville Jaycees in 1978 and in 1981 by the Clarksville Chamber of Commerce. He also was recognized by receiving the Ezekiel and Weilman Award for most outstanding restaurateur in the state of Virginia. He was a former member of the Clarksville Lions Club, the VFW Post 8163, where he served as a Post Commander, and served on the Clarksville Town Council 14 years. His greatest pride was his son being elected Virginia's youngest mayor. A celebration of life ceremony was held Sunday, July 14, 2002, at Watkins Cooper Lyon. Surviving in addition to his wife, are his son and daughter-in-law, H. Wayne and Norma Roberts of Wichita, Kan.; a sister, Alnora Cameron of Palm Coast, Fla.; brothers, Linwood Roberts of Durham, N.C., and Page Roberts of Clarksville; stepchildren, Brenda Knight of Williamsburg, and William Jeffrey Wilburn of Sandston; a grandson, Jason Roberts of Greensboro.
