Gerald "Happy" Robertson

April 17, 1932 - November 30, 2024

It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Gerald "Happy" Robertson at the age of 92, surrounded by family at Bonnechere Manor in Renfrew, Ontario. Happy was the beloved husband and best friend of Betty (Trudel) for 71 years.

Cherished father of Norma Robertson and Laurie Ouellet (Joe). Loving grandfather of Kevin Ouellet, Kelsey De Angelis (Gino), and Sydney Lefebvre (Will). Proud great-grandfather to Marco De Angelis, Camila De Angelis, Emma Lefebvre, and Logan Lefebvre.

Happy is survived by his brother Terry (Pete) Robertson (Ada) and is fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his brothers Clarence (Ellen), Grant (Terry), and Larry (Carol).

Retiring from Algoma Ore Division in Wawa at 55 years old, Happy later worked at Citadel for one year before retiring fully. He and Betty cherished their winters in Bruce Mines and summers at their cottage on Whitefish Lake. In 2020, they relocated to Renfrew to be closer to family as Happy’s health began to decline.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Bonnechere Manor for their compassionate care during this difficult time.

Cremation has taken place, and a celebration of life will be held at a later date in Wawa, Ontario. In memory of Happy, donations to a charity of your choice are appreciated. Tributes and condolences may be shared at www.zohrfuneralhome.com.
