Calvin played an important role in highlighting the works of the GCB over the years. His love for cricket cannot be debated; he was willing to partake in any event to promote the game.
“We could have called on Calvin at any time; he never hesitated to get words of our undertakings, issues and other news out to the public. He was also a qualified electronic scorer whom the Board relied on for Regional and International Tournaments,” a release from the GCB stated.
“We admired his passion, dedication and positive personality and it a privilege to have known and work with him. He was our ‘Sports Journalist of the Year’ in 2013 and has surely left a high standard for his peers to follow.
The news of his death floored us all; we can only imagine the grief of his family members. The GCB would like to express our deepest sympathy to his family, friends and colleagues; they are in our thoughts and prayers.

He displayed an abiding interest in sports-contributing pointed and contentions articles in the process.
The Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) extends condolences to his family and will interact with them to arrange a night of reflection on his life.
And GCUSA, DCUSA also expressed sympathies to Roberts relatives; Members of the Georgetown and Demerara Cricket Umpires and Scorers Associations have extended condolence to the relatives of the late Chronicle senior Sports reporter Calvin Roberts.
