Peacefully at Huron Hospice on Monday April 4th 2022, Jim Robertson of Goderich Ontario, formerly of RR #1 Dungannon in his 73rd year passed away. Beloved husband of Deb Robertson. Dear father of Jillian (Trevor) Bazinet of Goderich and Cory (Marie) Robertson of Goderich. Loving Poppa to Hannah & Austin Robertson and Brock Bazinet. Predeceased by his parents Jim & Verna Robertson, siblings Scott and Connie Robertson. Also predeceased by his in laws John and Mary Maize, sister-in-law Diane Maize and brother-in-law Nelson Caldwell. Survived by brother-in-law Rick Maize Clinton, Randy (Patty) Maize of Port Albert, Ron (Lori) Maize of Port Albert, Donna Caldwell (Chuck) of Goderich, Rob (Lavonne) Maize of Port Albert, Chris (Kendall) Maize of Dungannon along with many special nieces and nephews. Also, many special great nieces and nephews.
Jim will be sadly missed by his wife Deb Robertson of 43 years and his pride and joy daughter Jillian and #1 son Cory and their families. Jim adored and loved his family deeply.
For many years Jim battled through many serious health issues and continued to fight the fight and embrace life as it came to him. 18 years ago, he was granted a second chance with a brand-new heart and was able to enjoy family, friends and travelling. He got to see the West Coast, East Coast and many tropical places over the 21 years of his illness.
Jim was a very simple man, not a man of many words but when he loved something he loved it dearly. His passion for his work at Selinger Wood Ltd. for 25 years allowed for him to work with his hands and create special pool cues that would be sent all over the world. He loved his music, especially rock music. You would always see him rocking his beloved band t-shirts. He would crank ACDC and sing along. He was also known for his love at Grandbend Motorplex and fast cars. Jim was the front-line starter there for many years. Jim was also known as the local and family taxi. Family and friends often would reach out to him for a ride and he never said no. He enjoyed those times and chats with everyone he could help along the way.
He will be forever in our hearts and in our music.
Peace, love and rock and roll.
A private family graveside service will be held at Maitland Cemetery. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Columbus Centre, 390 Parsons Court, Goderich on Thursday April 7, 2022 from 4 – 8 PM. Memorial donations to Huron Hospice gratefully acknowledged.
