Earl was preceded in death by his parents, John W. and Lena Modena Robertson, and his siblings R.C., John Jr., M.L., Emmitt, and Cecil Robertson, Carol Williams, Mildred Franklin, Arlene Dearman, and Margie Davis. His memory will be forever cherished by his beloved wife of nearly 78 years, Betty Casey Robertson, whom he married on September 23, 1957. Together, they built a life filled with love and dedication.
