[Vision2020] FW: [Vandal]Nick Roberts, Former Nobby Bartender, Passes

I received the preceding posting from Robie Russ via the Vandal Listserve.

 

I am certain that many of you recall Nick Roberts.  I personally recall
seeing him regularly when the Corner Club was a consistent Saturday stop of
mine.

MOSCOW -- Nicholas P. Roberts, 80, of Moscow, died Saturday, Oct. 21, 2006,
at his home. Arrangements are pending with Short's Funeral Chapel, Moscow. 

[NOTE:  Many of you may recall Nick Roberts.  He was the bartender at the
Nobby Inn for many years, and after his retirment, held court at the Corner
Club.  Nick was a graduate of the University and a member of Sigma Nu.  He
played basketball for the University and was quite knowledgable on all
matters related to UofI athletics.  Prior to the Nobby, he was a bartender
at the Ad Club in the old New Idaho Hotel.

Ironically, he was listening to the Idaho-BSC game on the radio when he
died.  Knowing Nick, I'm sure some of the officiating was what did him in.]
