John Robertson Obituary

John Robertson died on February 22, 2025 at 88 years old. Born September 1, 1936, the son of Graham and Anna Robertson. He is survived by his wife Fran Waller, his children Jennifer Burke, John Robertson, Julia Hatch, Keith Waller, Elizabeth DeGregorio, Veronica Iuliano. Their Spouses Tom, Lynnette, Dan, Michele, Joe, Fabio. His 14 Grandchildren Alden, Mikaela and her new husband Jordan, Lucius, Zachary, Charlie, Bella, Ethan, Sam, Caii, Livia, Mesfin, Dahlia, Reuben and Massimo. And a host of Friends and Family.

John earned his degree in Electrical Engineering from City College of New York and went on to found Climatronics Corp. which designed and manufactured meteorological data acquisition systems used in civil aviation, pollution control and scientific research.

John loved spending time with his family, hiking, and woodworking. He was an Eagle Scout who encouraged his son John and grandsons in Scouting and avidly followed his grandsons’ involvement in Scouting. He devoted many summers to bringing both his children, and later with his wife Fran, his grandchildren to the Adirondacks. He felt closest to God when he was in the Adirondack woods.

In retirement John filled his days spending time with family, hiking with friends, woodworking, traveling with his wife Fran, and going to church with his family. John lived a full and happy life; he will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
