Theodore "Ted" Edward Robertson

With profound sadness we announce the passing of Theodore Edward Robertson "Ted". Ted passed away on July 24th peacefully after a brief, second courageous battle with cancer, at Grand River Hospital with his family by his side. Ted was a loving, devoted husband and best friend to Cheryl for 44 years. Loving father to Carley (Paul) Park and Jamie. Proud Papa to Brayden, Ethan and Jasmine. Ted will missed by his sister Jacalyn (Laverne) and brother Richard (Mary). Ted was predeceased by his sister Sandra (Cam). Ted will also be missed by many nieces and nephews and many brothers in law and sisters in law. Ted worked as a plumber for many years in Kitchener and Cambridge, owning his own company. Ted loved music, cars and animals. Ted will be missed dearly by his dog Molly and cat Donnie. Ted had the best sense of humor and remained witty and charming until the end. We shared so many laughs with him even in the hardest parts of the last few days. Ted was a kind man who always looked for the best in people and he was grateful for the medical care he received. We offer our sincere thanks to Dr. Chinaurd and Dr. Lawrence Green, and his family doctor, Dr. Jill Hollowell. Thank you to the 5th floor nursing staff of Grand River Hospital. Thanks also to the 6th floor nursing staff of Grand River Hospital, the care you provided allowed Ted to keep his dignity until the end and we will remain grateful. We are grateful to the doctors of the 6th floor for their valiant efforts to help Ted. We will miss Ted so much but will think of him when we hear a good song on the radio or see a bright star in the sky. Thank you to our friends and family for their love and support during this difficult time. In keeping with Ted’s wishes cremation has taken place and a Memorial Service will be held on Monday, July 31, 2017 at Coutts Funeral Home, 96 St. Andrews Street, Cambridge (519-621-1650) at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations made in Ted's memory to The Canadian Cancer Society or to the Grand River Hospital Foundation would be greatly appreciated.
