KREIA was founded in 1978 by three men — Noble Roberts, Gene Dyson, and Rue McFarland. Noble was named our first president. From KREIA's beginning, with about 12 members, we have grown strong to over 800 members, and more join every day.
We would like to thank Noble Roberts for leading us, inspiring us, and for helping so many men and women learn how to invest in real estate. Following his example, many of us have reached financial freedom, allowing us to secure our families' futures. And we'd like to thank him for showing us how to provide safe housing for so many other families.
Noble lived 99 abundant years of service to his country and his community. He was a soldier in WWII, a professor of biology, and a leader in his church.
Noble Lafayette Roberts, of Shelbyville, Kentucky, died on Sunday, January 19, 2025, at the age of 99, just a few months shy of reaching 100 years old. Noble was born June 10, 1925, in Arkadelphia, Arkansas.
