ROBERTSON, John Thomas
1960 - 2013
It is with deep sadness that we announce John's untimely passing October 27, 2013 at the Red Deer Regional Hospital after a long and courageous battle. John was born and raised in Edmonton. John started working at the age of 12 for his father at Norwest Motors where he became a machinist by trade. He branched out into sales to travel throughout Western Canada and NWT selling everything from auto parts to RVs. One of his great pleasures, other than The Price is Right, was to relate many an entertaining story from which there were life lessons he passed on to family and friends. John's life epitomized the phrase - Courage is not having the strength to go on - it is going on when you haven't the strength. He will be dearly missed. John is survived by his wife, soul mate and caregiver, Judi, step daughters, Tamra Francoeur, Tarra (Chris) Walter, Taryne (Steve) Munro, grandchildren Terri, Miranda, Ricki, Evan and Connor; sons, Alex and Willie, brothers Ed (Rita), Pat (Val) and sister Joanie. His parents Alex and Olga Robertson and special Baba Sophie predeceased him. The family wishes to thank Dr. Simmonds, the staff of unit 32, the Medical Day Room, and the Emergency Department, for their care in making John as comfortable as possible. At John's request there will be no formal funeral service. A gathering of friends and family will be announced at a later date. In John's memory donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
