You have really done a great job on his page... I would like for you to know, just in case you do not have the information on his marital status, or the only child he has, you may I do not know...
I know his widow, (wife), as of today she still has not remarried...
His wifes name is Doris Roberts, they have a daughter Pamela, who they called Pam...
The last I saw of Doris, was around three years ago, and she and Fireball, or Glenn, as she calls him, has a granddaughter.. Melanie is her name..
I do know that much....
Thanks, Timmie Timmons

I am the daughter of Doris & Glenn Roberts.I want to thank you for your interest in my Father.It's amazing to go online and see the continued interest in my Dad & the history of Nascar.CJ, there's just one thing, I never had a child named M-------.I have a son, Matt, 2 daughters, Heather Glynn & Angela.Matt & Jenny have a son DJ and a daughter Shyli, Angela & Josh have a daughter, Chloe.Please tell me where you got the idea that I had a daughter named M---?I'm certainly not upset about it, I'd just like for you to include the real names of the grand children and great-grandchildren. I have the journal that Daddy wrote into after every race for tax purposes, etc. It has every race he entered in his career, date, city, start pos., finish pos., car & #, car owner, & purse. I am going to do "something" with this, I want to share it with his fans in some way. I have always wanted to write a book, an OFFICIAL coffee-table book about his career, his FAMILY life & what he was like to all the kids in the neighborhood, I also want to share to pictures that my Mother has collected through the many years in this book. Hopefully, this will come to pass in the near future. Since you are obviously a fan, I want you to know that the book just released this week about Daddy is UNAUTHORIZED. Please consider the source, if you should happen to read it. If there is anything I could help you with, any questions, etc., please feel free to email me. Again, thank you for your interest in my Father.
