    • John ROBERTSON
      December 6, 1938 - October 1, 2022


      Beloved father of John and Julie (Neal), son-in-law Michael, and grandchildren Laura and Janson, he was predeceased by his wife Janice (1999) and sister Ann (1997). Grant was a longtime employee of Allen-Bradley/Rockwell International, beginning as a draftsman. He was one of the founders of Ringette in Cambridge in the early 1970s. He was a proud member of the Preston Scout House Band as a teenager and its alumni as a senior. Upon becoming a widower, Grant volunteered innumerable hours at Cambridge Memorial Hospital. He happily spent summers at Carson's Camp at Sauble Beach for 45 years. In accordance with Grant's wishes, cremation has occurred. A celebration-of-life will be held at a time and place to be determined. To acknowledge the superb care Grant received in his final month, expressions of sympathy as donations to Stedman Community Hospice in Brantford are appreciated.
