ROBERTSON, John Sidney
It is with great sadness that the family of John Sidney Robertson announces his passing, on Wednesday, October 7, 2020, at the age of 85 years.
Sid will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 55 years, Barbara Busch Robertson. He was a supportive and caring father to Michael, Jennifer Corry (Stephen) and Stephanie (David). Sid was proud of many things in his life, but he was most proud of being Poppy to his four grandsons, Nathan, Liam, Christopher and Benjamin. Sid will also be fondly remembered by his cousin Margaret, niece Judy, and nephew Harley.
Sidney was born, raised and passed away in the small town of Maria, Quebec on the Gaspé Peninsula. He returned to the house in which he was born after retiring from a 48 -year career in the aviation industry.
He spent many wonderful years living in Toronto, the West Island of Montreal and enjoying cottage life in St. Michel des Saints, Quebec.
Sidney loved his Toronto Maple Leafs, telling stories about growing up on the farm but he was most passionate about fishing for trout and salmon in the nearby rivers and streams including the Grand Cascapedia River.
The family wishes to send a special thank you to the staff at the Maria Hospital for their care and compassion.
Memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Canada (alzheimer.ca)
A Celebration of Life will be held at a future date.
