HUGH ROBERTSON

1919 - 2008

Hugh Wright Robertson passed away peacefully February 4, 2008 at Long Term Care in Milk River, Alberta.
He was born in Griffin, Saskatchewan on September 8, 1919 and grew up on the family farm in Grassy Lake.
Hugh was predeceased by his adoptive parents Parker and Ethel Carruthers, sister Margaret Ivins, step sister Clara, half sister Phyllis and birth brother Adam.
He is survived by his special friend Connie Monroe of Edmonton, half sisters Peg and Rita also of Edmonton and numerous nieces and nephews. He will be sadly missed by his nephew Tom Ivins of Lethbridge and niece Patty Lund of Taber and their families.
Hugh served in the Canadian Army in Canada in 1941 and was honorably discharged in 1943 due to health problems. He loved the independence and freedom of ranch life, especially his beloved Galloway and Highland cattle, which could be seen in the foreground of the Sweet Grass Hills, another favorite thing of Hughs. Hugh was an unique individual and a good friend to many. His last years were spent in Long Term Care in Milk River where he received excellent and special care. The family wishes to thank the staff for their concern and compassion for Hugh.
Hugh will be privately remembered by his family and friends.
