Mr. Robertson was preceded in death by his father, Dennis Offa Robertson and mother, Ethel Bernice Simpson Robertson; and a brother, Keith Robertson.
Dennis served in the U.S. Army from 1950-1954. After completing technical school, he was employed at Bingham Pump as a Machine Language Programmer until retirement. He then continued that job description at Non-stop Scaffolding Company until he was 86 years old. He loved computers and they became his hobby. He developed horse racing programs to keep statistical track information.
He met his true-love, Lucille Franklin in 1979. After a few short years of courtship, the couple got married and settled down. Dennis was a wonderful, caring, and hardworking, brother, father and husband. He will be greatly missed by his family and everyone who knew him.
