Roberts, Shearl J., Age 88, of Kettering, entered into the presence of God on Sunday, March 24, 2019 at Kettering Medical Center.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 55 years, Mary (Christian) Roberts and his sister, Doll Kolb and surviving nieces, Helen Tegtmeyer and Eileen Berner. Shearl was born in Dayton and preceded in death by his parents, Ollie and Lucy (Inkrott) Roberts.
He is survived by his daughter, Ann Marie (Roberts) Suchecki, grandchildren Adam (Erin) Suchecki and Christian (Angelea) Suchecki; son Brian (Carol); grandchildren Dr. Nicholas (Dr. Amanda), Dr. M. Katelin Kanoza (Nick Kanoza), and Kevin, son Thomas (Linda); grandchildren, Erin and Andrew; son Shaun, grandchildren Dr. Joseph Graham (Teresa), Noah (fiancée Miranda Ball), and Patrick; son Christopher (Peggy), grandchildren Ann, Sarah and Matthew; and son, Charles (Amy), grandchildren Alycen and Nathan. He was blessed with four great-grandchildren, Liam, Violet, Archie, and Daniel, and one on the way.
Shearl attended parochial school in Dayton, the start of a life-long passion for learning. He graduated valedictorian of his class of 1948 at Chaminade High School. He graduated valedictorian in 1953 at the University of Dayton. He graduated law school in 1957 from the University of Cincinnati, serving as the Editor of the Law Review. He obtained his Masters in Tax, and practiced law in the Dayton area for over 50 years. After retiring from practice, Shearl taught historical and constitutional courses at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Dayton.
He was an Army veteran, starting his family while serving in Augusta, Georgia during the Korean War.
His faith was central to his life, including his many roles at St. Albert the Great Church: usher, lector, Parish Council, and he taught pre Cana with his wife.
A former Dayton Bar Association President, Shearl was also active in multiple service groups including the Make a Wish Foundation, the Knights of Columbus, and Oakwood Rotary. He shared his expansive knowledge of history by volunteering at the National Museum of the US Air Force (the Dayton Air Force Museum).
Shearl enjoyed sports. He was an avid baseball and football fan, and volunteered as an Assistant Soccer Coach at Oakwood High School. He was passionate about golf.
Dad loved mom. Dad loved his family. Dad loved God.
