Notes:

ROSEBRUGH, H. Bennett

Moved on peacefully, on November 5, 2012. Born and raised in Galt, P. Eng McGill '49, Ben lived a full and happy life! Beloved, loyal husband of Patricia. Great father to Jennifer (Jeff Murray), Atlanta, Jeffrey (Anne Galipeau), Ottawa and proud Grandpa of Maya, grade 2! Founding member Galt Rotary Club, staunch defender of the architectural heritage of Galt and former board member of Heritage Cambridge. Though he joined Imperial Oil in Timmins (@-48F!), upon graduation, Ben moved back to Galt to take over CedarHill Dairy, from his mother and successfully steer its inexorable transition from horse drawn wagons of glass bottles, to truck delivery of bags and cartons. Later in life he reinvented himself and with Pat purchased Howe Travel Ltd., Cambridge's first. Avid travellers, they shared a lifelong wanderlust, however nothing was more important to Ben than enjoying 55 consecutive summers of the world's most beautiful sunsets at the family cottage, on the shores of Lake Huron in Grand Bend.
