Colin William Roberts

Passed on: January 10th, 2009

Colin William Roberts, beloved husband, father and grandfather, passed away on January 10, 2009 in Moose Jaw at the age of 73. Colin was born in Moose Jaw and grew up on the family farm in the Tuxford area. After his father's death, he took over the operation of the farm where he worked tirelessly and innovatively. Responsible stewardship of the land was very important to him. Colin also owned and managed Air Waves Radio and TV in Moose Jaw for over two decades. Throughout his life he was active in the community and his church. He belonged to Doric Lodge, was a member of the Kinsmen Club and was actively involved on the Band Festival Committee for many years. Skiing and golfing were favourite pastimes. He especially treasured time spent with his young grandchildren. Family and friends will remember Colin's sense of humour, which he retained even throughout his struggle with lung disease. Colin was predeceased by his parents, William and Flora, and sister Joan. He is survived by his wife Gwen, daughter Rhea (John Shaw) and grandchildren, Liam and Georgia of Lethbridge, and sister-in-law Faye Ferguson of Toronto. The Service of Remembrance will be held at St. Aidan's Anglican Church, 124 First Ave. NE., on Thursday January 15, 2009 at 1:30 pm. Reverend Betty Bradley and Reverend Allen Doerksen will officiate. Memorialization will take place at Rosedale Cemetery at a later date. In lieu of flowers, those who wish to do so may make a donation to the Saskatchewan Lung Association, 1231 - 8th Street East, Saskatoon, SK S7H OS5. In living memory of Colin, a tree will be planted in Besant Park by W. J. Jones & Son Funeral Home. Please sign the memorial register book at website: www.wjjonesandson.com (Obituaries).
