Ernest William (Bill) Robertson resident of Medicine Hat, Alberta, passed away on March 17, 2020 at his beloved pub on Isla Mujeres in Mexico at the age of 66 years old. He was predeceased by his father John W Robertson and his mother Christel Robertson. Bill will be missed by his brothers and sister. Gordon (Claire) Robertson, Jim( Barb) Robertson and Patricia (Brad) Kyle. As well as his nieces and nephews, Raymond (Tiffany) Robertson, Sabrina Kyle, Scott Kyle and Shantel Kyle.

Bill, as he was known by family and friends, was born in Finkhaus, Germany on December 7, 1953. He relocated with his parents to Calgary Alberta and was raised there attending elementary and secondary school. His interests in music and travel took him to many places in his lifetime including working with and traveling with many bands.

After taking up residence in Medicine Hat, he began managing various restaurants. He later started his own restaurant and cafe at the Medicine Hat Airport for a number of years. After the airport closed to renovate, Bill decided to lease out the Whiskey Creek restaurant with his brother Gordon and sister-in law Claire.

Bill enjoyed good conversations on a variety of topics with his customers, friends and family. When the lease was done, Bill decided it was time to fulfil his dream and semi-retire at his favourite pub BoBos in Isla Mujeres, Mexico. This was where he wanted to spend his senior years doing what he loved, being on the beach and at BoBos. His lifelong dream ended short when he passed away in Mexico. He will be sadly missed by his family, as well as many friends, throughout the world. Bill will be cremated in Mexico where he wanted to retire. Due to the current pandemic a celebration of Bill’s life will be held at a later date.
