Obituary
ROBERTSON, F. Allison "Allie" - 69, MacLellan's Brook, Pictou Co., passed away unexpectedly Sunday, May 14, 2006, at his home. Born in Antigonish in 1937, he was the youngest son of the late Harlan and Margaret (Bannerman) Robertson (Barney's River Station). After attending East Pictou Rural High School, he attended the Nova Scotia Institute of Technology from where he graduated in 1959. In earlier years he worked for the Department of Transportation, Halifax, and Maritime Steel, New Glasgow. In 1995 he retired from Kimberly Clarke after 23 years of service. Allie's keen interest in politics was shown by the fact that he held many offices in the Liberal Party. This past April, he and his wife Helen were recognized for their outstanding and continuous support. Allie was a member and elder of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, New Glasgow. Allie was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. He will be remembered as a warm, kind, and loving person. He was full of fun and well-known for his hearty laugh and dry sense of humour.
