DR. FRED ROBERTSON Fred R. Robertson, III, DVM, 65, of 142 Amherst Drive died on May 8, 2010 at his home. He was born on June 29, 1944 in Memphis, Tennessee to the late Fred R. Robertson, Jr. and Martha Blount Robertson. He attended the Marion Military Institute and earned his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Auburn University in 1970. He moved to Greenwood the following year to practice veterinary medicine at the Greenwood Veterinary Hospital first with Dr. Lee Rogers and later with Dr. Michael Walden. He was devoted to his employees, clients and animals and loved them all very much. He married the love of his life, Lynn Anderson Robertson in 1973. They have two children, Leah Robertson Maybry and husband Luke of Charlotte, NC and Jonathan Seth Robertson and wife Becky of Mt.

He loved his family very much, took tremendous pride in them and their accomplishments and especially loved being a grandfather "Pop" to his six grandchildren. He was an active member of North Side Baptist Church in Greenwood where he served as deacon and long-time Sunday School teacher.

I did not have a better friend than Fred (we all called him F.R.) during high school and college. He was voted best looking in our senior year at Auburn High. We were fraternity brothers at Auburn University and he was in my wedding in 1968. A small group of us get together each year and we tell the same stories over and over. F.R.'s name always comes up. We all loved F.R.
