On Monday August 29, 2022 Noel Robertson passed away peacefully in his sleep after an extremely full and adventurous life of 90 years. Noel was a proud Irishman, the 4th in a typically Irish catholic family of nine children. Noel took every opportunity life presented him and made the absolute best out of life’s gifts.
Noel had an opportunity to immigrate to Canada in the late 1950’s and as expected he made the most of this experience. He began his career as a building estimator in Montreal, gaining experience he quickly became an assistant supervisor of premises for eastern Canada with Toronto Dominion bank. Noel would continue with TD bank for the balance of his career with a steady rise in rank and responsibilities. He held various positions in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver before rounding out his time as Vice President of Real Estate Operations for TD.
Noel and his wife Janet settled in Victoria BC for their retirement years where Noel could focus on his golf game and socializing as much as he and Janet could handle! They soon became involved in the local community via the “Newcomers” where they were active long past a newcomer status.
Noel was a keen member of his local parish and volunteered with a number of local charities all while doting over his wife Janet. Noel was always planning for future needs and in 2017 opted to set up residence at Berwick Royal Oak retirement home. As per usual Noel became busy making new friends at Berwick many of whom were surprised and saddened to hear of his passing.
Noel leaves behind his loving wife Janet Robertson, son Paul Robertson and wife Sharon, granddaughters Jasmine and Saia of Richmond BC, his daughter Lorraine DeCosta and grandchildren Mariah and Colin of Massachusetts, stepson Scott MacLean of Toronto, sister Alice of Dublin, Ireland along with many nieces and nephews and finally his B.C. adopted family of Mary, Tim, Meredith and Sydney Witoski of Victoria BC.
A private ceremony will be held in the Sequoia Centre at McCall’s Gardens on Monday, September 12, 2022 at 2:00 pm. The ceremony will be streamed on the following link:
