Mom was a devout catholic and full member of the CWL & Kacets.

She loved music, playing the accordion and guitar, and belonged to many choirs over the years, but was most proud of being a member in the local German Choir.

She was an expert seamstress and crafter, making many beautiful quilts and crochet angles as gifts over the years. Her pastimes were foremost, spending time with her family, then travelling, gambling and golfing with friends.

It is with the deepest of sadness we announce the passing of Benjamin Lewis Fenton Robertson.  Dad passed as he spent his days, quietly and gracefully, with his loving family around him.

Born in Dundee, Scotland, the 10th of 11 children, he married his beloved Jessie Cumming Thompson while serving in the RAF.  Together they had 4 children, Jacqui, Ian, Kevin and Duncan.

Ben had always yearned to spread his wings, and he brought his family to Kamloops in 1975, to join his older brother Bill, his wife Norma and son Grant, where he continued the family trade as a painter and decorator, setting up his business Mayfair Painting.

Ben added the touches that completed many of the premier properties that were built in and around Kamloops from the mid-1970’s until passing.

Ben and Jessie became involved in the Kamloops sport scene, refereeing and coaching soccer.

The wild then beckoned and they moved to Eagle Island Resort for 3 yearsRead More & Leave Condolences »
