Stanley James Donald Robertson

Posted Jul 25, 2024 | 10:29 AM

September 13, 1941 – July 4, 2024   

Stanley was born on September 13, 1941, in St. Mary’s Hospital in New Westminster, B.C. He passed July 4, 2024. 

Stanley’s brother Douglas and sister Margaret were born in the few years following him. The family lived in Burnaby, B.C. from his birth until the whole family moved to North Bend in September of 1946, where Stan’s father, James Clifford Robertson, had a position as principal of the only school in town. 

In 1948, Stan’s mother was diagnosed with lupus which led to her death in 1950. While his sister Margaret went to live with their Aunt Liz, Stan and his younger brother, Douglas, remained in North Bend and lead a free and unstructured life. A few years after that, Stan and Douglas went to North Shore College in North Vancouver for 2 years. When Stan was 14, he moved to Edmonton to work for the CPR. Shortly after that the “Diesel’s” came and he lost his job. At 15, Stan decided that the north held the most opportunity and spent the next 6 years working for the D. P. W. building the town of Inuvik, NWT (or Aklavik East 3 as it was known at that time) as a surveyor, gravel truck driver and storesman. Stan spent his free time for the next 4 years adventuring in the Mackenzie Delta, hunting, fishing and trapping. When his prized camera and shotgun were stolen out of his canoe, Stan decided to move back to Vancouver to be closer to family. 

After his marriage in 1970 and the birth of his oldest son, Douglas, Stan decided to go back to school and become a diesel mechanic. This led to several years of living in McLeod Lake, then Summit Lake, where his second son, Clifford, was born. Next, he moved to Williams Lake, where from 1975 he raised his family, spending his leisure time in the Chilcotin, hunting and fishing until moving to Chase in 2005. His death, on July 4. 2024 came after a lengthy struggle with Alzheimer’s. Stan leaves behind his loving wife, Margaret Robertson, sons Clifford Robertson and Douglas Robertson, daughter-in law Tammy Lowney, and grand-daughter Grace Robertson.
