William Robertson Obituary
Bill is survived by his wife, Georgia (Clutteur) Robertson. They married January 14, 1972 in Watseka, IL. He has one daughter, Cheray (Robertson) Scott. She is married to Jason Scott and they have two daughters, Rigby and Adler of Fort Lauderdale, FL. Also surviving is his son, Cole Robertson. He is married to Meghan (Hardey) Robertson and they have one daughter, Norah, and one son, Caden of Normal, IL. Bill has one sister, Nancy (Robertson) Harris of Milford and two nephews and one niece. Bill has one brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Mark and Nancy Clutteur of Watseka with five nephews and one niece. He was preceded by his parents and one brother-in-law.
Bill was an operating engineer and belonged to Local 841 of Danville for ten years and Local 150 of Joliet until his retirement in 2009. He was a hard worker who always put his duty to his family first and his own well-being second.
Bill loved the outdoors. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, and working on his land. A jack of all trades, there wasn't a home project he wouldn't take on. He valued time spent wisecracking with his many long-time friends whether it be over a cup of coffee or a beer.
Above all, his greatest joy was supporting his children's various activities throughout high school, college, and on into adulthood. He adored his grandchildren. Despite his failing health he maintained a sense of humor until the end.
A memorial service will be held Saturday, December 15, 2018 at Knapp Funeral Home in Watseka with visitation at 1:00 p.m. and service at 2:00 p.m. with Rev. Robert Sabo officiating. A Celebration of Life gathering will be held following the service from 3:00-5:00 p.m. at the Watseka American Legion.
Memorials may be made in his honor to the Hope Hospice of Cape Coral or to the Parkinsons Disease Research.
