William Joseph "Bill" Robertson

Betsy, I send my sincere sympathy upon hearing of the death of your husband William. His obituary attests to his many accomplishments and successes both professionally and personally. He was a unique and accomplished person. The life you enjoyed together was very special I´m sure. Dr. Antonio M. Eppolito (Antone) Fayetteville, NY

Dear Betsy, I´m so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of all the years you attended Fairbanks Summer ARts Festival events. And I remember one of the last years I was the producing director, Bill bought a violin and started taking seasons at the Festival! My thoughts and prayers are with you, Betsy Love from Jo Ryman Scott, now living in a retirement community in Tucson

I remember Bill from my first days/years in Fairbanks with the BLM. I first met Bill In 1970, my rookie year as a smokejumper, when I was injured and spent several months in Basset Army Hospital. Bill visited me often to be sure things were 'okay'. In 1971 & 72 I worked as a fire dispatcher at the BLM fire compound on Airport Way about 30 feet down the hall from Bill. He was an absolutely good person! He was calm, thoughtful, non-accusatory and very effective as a member of the BLM'S...

Fond memories of Bill from Alan's and my Alaska days! Condolences to his family.

Had the good luck to work with Bill when he was the BLM. Honest, straight forward and always willing to work with you on an issue. Go in peace Bill.

Sincere sympathy to Betsy and the entire family. Bill was one of the first people I met when I moved to Fairbanks from Juneau in 1992. He was helpful, kind and always at the center of making Fairbanks a better place to live. He was my sponsor into the Rotary Club of Fairbanks, a gracious mentor and someone I'm very glad I got to know over the years. Rest In Peace, Bill.

A very solid, responsible man; one to be admired. Many in the Fairbanks area have fire and emergency service protection today thanks to Bill´s efforts following the 2004 "Boundary" fire. He was such a rock solid, dependable man. Fairbanks is better for him having been here.
