Eduardo M. Roberts

Eduardo "Ed" Roberts passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home in Waterville Valley NH at the age of 79 after a long battle with multiple myeloma. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the son of the late Henry O. and Cynthia (Hope) Roberts, he was one of six children. He attended the Beaumont College boarding school in Berkshire, England where he was in the rugby (captain), cross country and rowing teams, and shook Queen Elizabeth II's hand when she visited the school in 1961. Ed received his undergraduate degree from MIT in 1965, where he continued with his love of sports as member of the ski team, then went on to receive his master's degree at the Sloan School of Management a year later. During his time at MIT, Ed met his wife of 47 years, the late Cynthia "Cindy" (Dullea) Roberts. They were married in 1967 in Peabody MA, and later settled in Buenos Aires, Argentina to raise eight children. Ed spent most of his career as a General Manager for the "La Corona" sugar mill located in the province of Tucumán where the family spent many memorable family vacations. In 1990, Ed and Cindy returned to United States and a few years later moved to Waterville Valley NH. Ed had a passion for sports, and was an avid skier, golfer, and tennis player. He enjoyed travelling, spending time with his large family and hosting "Campo Roberts" every July for his grandchildren. His strong faith was a constant during the ups and downs of his life, and he remained actively involved with Holy Trinity Parish throughout his years in NH. Ed is survived by his eight children Angela Amor and her husband Patrick from Menlo Park CA, Cristina Doucette and her husband James from Ashland MA, Amanda Roberts and her husband Jonathan Shockley from Petersburg VA, Eduardo Roberts and his wife Ana Cagnoni from Stow MA, Cynthia Blouch and her husband Brent from Avon OH, Alicia Hawk and her husband Kent from Springville IN, Andrea Roberts from Denver CO, and Michael Roberts and his wife Kelli from Tiverton RI; his 19 grandchildren Teresa, Brianna, Matt, Annika, Kate, Alex, Iain, Ali, Ivan, Bella, Jonas, Clara, Walter, Azul, Athena, Ronan, Thiago, Ezra and Thaïs; his siblings Libby, John and Cynthia; and many nieces and nephews.
