JOHN ROBERTSON Obituary

ROBERTSON, JOHN Toronto - Our beloved dad and husband, Jack, passed away quietly on October 11, 2018 after a brief stay at Scarborough General Hospital. Jack lived a rich and wonderful life; he served in the British Air Force and was a talented pro footballer in his native Scotland. He shone on the stage with the local Glasgow players and eventually immigrated to Canada with his little sister, Maureen, in 1956. It was in Toronto that he met the love of his life, Rosemary, and they married in 1959. Two children and one dog later, Jack thrived as a music man, a senior executive at CBS Records/SONY Music until his retirement in 1992. Then the second love of his life took over and Jack focused on his time as a proud and popular member of the Scarboro Golf Club, a board member for years and the Club Captain for two. He loved his golf games and hosting countless milestones for friends and family at his home away from home there. Jack, we will miss you. Lovingly survived by his wife, Rosemary, his children, Paul, Jennifer and Stephanie and his grandchildren, Jessica and Myles. Following his wishes, there will be a private service for family only.

Jack was our dear friend and neighbour both on Regency Sq. and in the Gates of Guildwood. My husband, Gerry and I spent many happy hours with Jack and his dear wife, Rosemary. Be at peace, Jack. Love, Angela Auchincloss

Jack was very kind and helpful to me during our mutual years at CBS Records/SONY Music. A great music man and just a generally nice man.
