We have had the privilege of living across the road from the Robertson family for 26 years. During that time Hugh showed himself to be a responsible, caring, and kind neighbour. After my snowblower broke down, Hugh pitched in by clearing my driveway with his snowblower rather than see me or my wife shovelling snow. This was the mark of a true gentleman and when something prevented Hugh from performing this act of kindness, Evelyn, Stephanie or Jacob would often assume the task of snow removal for us before we could get to the shovel. Hugh and I particularly grew close though our joint love of motorcycles and riding them. We enjoyed many rides together. Our last was a short jaunt to Port Perry for a coffee and donut. I will sadly forever miss my good friend and riding partner. On one visit before Hugh's passing while siting at his bedside holding Hugh's hand, he began to cry and told me to go on a motorcycle ride when I returned and cautioned me to ride safe. I knew that as Hugh was mumbling these words through his oxygen mask he fully knew that we had enjoyed our final ride together. To the entire Robertson family let me state that we share in your grief. You have lost a husband, father and a grandfather while we have lost a truly valued friend. While I understand that there is no comparison, the gut-wrenching pain is still there. We love you Hugh! Jack & Shirley
