I am so sad…I just recently found out about Struan’s passing. I first met this amazing man when I was with Red Cross Water Safety Service and we had a swimming instructor school in Kimberly I. 1964. We hit it off immediately through our love of the outdoors and any song by The Mamas and Papas! In 1966 I became the Recreation Consultant for the BC government. I covered the east and west Kootenays and used Kimberly as my East Kootenay base. Struan and Myra adopted me and I had many dinners and parties in their home. All their girls were young then. He taught me so much about life and about people. He set such an example for me and for that I am forever grateful. I left the Kootenays in 1969 a much better person thanks to Struan. And i still remember the words and melody to “She’s My Berrie Werrie Winkle.” My condolences to Allison and all the family.

I'm so sorry to hear of Struan's passing. I was one of those teens that got to enjoy Struan and his family. He would often have us around to his home to socialize. He was a great encourager to those of us who knew him and spent many hours at McDougal Hall in Townsite. For many of us the Hall was a second home and he was always there to welcome us.
Much love to the family,
Shirlea (Roskilly) Durston

We are John and Sally Flowers and we bought the house that Struan built up here in Gold Creek back in 1988 and we still call it home. I remember meeting him after the sale closed and he took delight in showing me all the features he had incorporated into the house which was one, if not the first R-2000 house in the area.
Among the items that he left behind here was a home-made trunk that was used when they moved from Scotland. On the inside of the lid is some history of there moves, names of the ship etc. If a family member would like to have the trunk, we would be glad to pass it on for the taking. It is a bit rough but it is the only one like it. Feel free to call or text me @ 250 702-6288. He was up to see the house again about 2 years ago and it was a great joy to have reconnected with him.
Our condolences to his family and friends. Struan was a one-off. John & Sally Flowers

Struan was our back neighbor when we moved to Alpine Crescent 10 years ago. We were so fortunate for this to be so. I will always remember the frequent visits with Struan - one of the kindest, friendliest, thoughtful and positive people I have met. Our two sons knew Struan from their earliest days and were known to take advantage of this kindness on occasion with unsanctioned visits requesting candy. We were also fortunate to witness Struan's skillful mastery of marionette; no doubt developed from so many years of being a father, grandfather and great grandfather. I will remember most of all Struan as a naturalist and learned many things from him during several visits to the Nature park. He will be missed by our family.

We first met Struan when Rod was transferred with the RCMP to Kimberley in 2002. Struan and Myrra were so amazing and welcoming which helped us quickly settle into our new home. Their kindness and wealth of knowledge of the area, we will never forget.
Over the years, among many things, Struan looked after our place when we were away. He watered, shoveled snow, let our teenagers in when they were locked out of the house, and pretty sure he helped with a few teenage crisis' over the years, the details of which, we as parents, will never know. Our kids felt as we did, he was an awesome person, and a very trusted good friend.
We always marveled at his energy, commitment and caring for the neighborhood, family, friends and nature. Every winter, he strolled the street with a shovel over his shoulder, always smiling as he constantly lent a hand to neighbors, especially after the Grader left a snow ridge in the driveways.
We admired Struan's zest for life, sense of family, and courage. Whether he was learning something new, such as a computer program, or just getting better at one of his many hobbies, he gave everything he did 110%.
Meeting Alison gave Struan a new lease on life and it was wonderful to see them share many adventures together. They were a great team.
Struan will always hold a special place in our hearts. If the world were full of "Struans", wouldn't it be a magical place.
Always in our memories,
Love,
Rod, Trudy, Cody, Carissa (Owen) Carbonneau

I am a late comer to the party as I only met Struan about 15 years back. I believe his beloved Myrra had recently passed. From my recollection we met him at a Christmas party that our friends were having. This party became a Christmas tradition so we were blessed to see Struan at least once a year. In between Christmas parties I would often bump into he and Alison out and about, generally on a trail somewhere in the community forest.
For someone that I really didn't know well, Struan had a remarkable effect on me. It was a real jolt when I recently found out that he had passed. Struan was the kind of guy we just assumed would be making lives brighter forever. The minute that smile lit up his face and his cheery 'Hello" hit my ears I always felt happy to be in his company. HIs joy, along with his love of life and the people he knew was so very infectious. Interesting and interested, Struan had the unique talent of being truly able to communicate how special you were to him. This was no act, Struan absolutely showed his love for all that he came into contact with.
As I move closer to 70, I look to Stuan and Alison as examples of how to live a life. Active, cheerful, accepting of all folks, always looking forward to new challenges, simply enjoying life...isn't this how we should all face the world?
Our heartfelt condolences to Alison and to all who love Struan and I know that is a lot of people.
Go well, my friend. I shall listen for your beautiful voice singing a wee tune when it is my time to cross-over.

I first met Struan when he became the director at McDougall Hall. He always had time for all of us kids that hung out there, he was amazing. I have a mind eye memory of him listening to us in his office
I then had the opportunity to work for him as lifeguard at McDougall Pool. Struan was an amazing boss who was always encouraging even on though cold morning in August swim lessons when I was in the water with the little ones bribing them to dunk under the water to get caramel treat from the bottom of the shallow end. I’ll always remember him saying to us that “People are important” and he showed through example of how he treated each of us. As I grew up that saying always stuck to me and when I would meet Struan he always such a breath of fresh air and energy and he always seems to reach out to every one present.
When every we meet through out my life his smile was so engaging and I enjoyed our chats

Struan was my Manager at Ft. Steele and a strong, guiding influence on my young, working experience that evolved into a life long passion for local history.
Always available to chat and encourage and with a shared sense of humour.
His passion for his Family and to be outdoors was admired by many and I send heartfelt condolences to all of them, especially my long ago classmate Bonnie.
Cherish the countless memories and he’ll be in your hearts forever.

My lovely cousin, Stephen Mackie, was best man to Struan when he got married. They both did a diploma in agriculture in Aberdeen. I knew of Struan was in those days but didn't meet him till later. That was when my husband, Norman, and I were in the Rossland visiting my cousin Tricia Exner. From Rossland, we proceeded to visit my school friend, Alison, in Kimberley and to my surprise, guess who her boyfriend was - none other than Struan! We got on like a house on fire, of course, and I was impressed that he was SO musical. He played the mouth organ to us, playing the many tunes of the Bothy Ballads of Aberdeenshire - he knew them all. Alison and he were so well suited - both with a good sense of humour, so energetic and very kind. It's good to remember such an active happy person.

Struan was my cousin and like him I was brought up in Huntly, Scotland. I was 7 when Struan moved to Canada and so it was not until 2008 on a visit to BC that we finally caught up. On hearing our conversation at that first meeting you would have thought we were still in the northeast.
Struan was so easy to get along with and we immediately spent several days touring as he showed us the best of BC. We certainly did a lot of walking and talking and shared a mutual love of the outdoors. We did not lose touch after this first visit and he and my wife Rae shared information on their mutual genealogy research. Struan was able to share stories of his time spent with my father in Huntly after the war as he saw him as something of father figure. We had a mutual background in the Scouts in Huntly and shared many memories of the scout leaders who had a good deal of influence in Struan’s life.
In 2018 we were delighted to host Struan and Alison in New Zealand. It was wonderful to be able to repay his hospitality and share the NZ outdoors. Struan was interested in everything from the culture to nature and particularly the scenery.
It was with great sadness that we heard of his illness and then how quickly he was lost to all but talking to him in his final days he was positive about the wonderful life he had had and was so proud of his family. Struan reminds us all to make the most of every day and appreciate how much we have.
Our thoughts are with Alison and the family, and I hope we stay in touch and share our Christmas letters as we remember Struan even in his passing. Condolences to Alison and the family wherever you are around the world. Struan, you will always be part of our memories.

While I was working at the Kimberley Nordic Centre and participating in guided hikes I fortunately came to know both Alison and Struan. My fondest memory of them is the day I was in the Tamarack Mall and luckily bumped into them there. They were hand in hand and grinning from ear to ear. Struan then announced with such joy that they had gotten married! Both were just beaming such happiness as they shared some of the details......this is such a fond warm memory for me filled with such joy. I did not know Struan well but I do know he easily spread such good feelings and his zest for life was palpable. It was always a pleasure to be in Struan's company and I wish him well on this next part of his journey.

Struan
Struan was my Dad’s younger brother - they were very different animals although their hearts lay in the North East of Scotland and their beloved Huntly.
My father might have been dux of The Gordons School Huntly and enjoyed a successful career overseas and in the British Civil Service but at heart I wonder if he would have loved Struan’s career and life in the outdoor of his beautiful and much-loved BC and all that Canada brought him.
The Scottish comedian Billy Connolly said that “there’s no such things as bad weather – only the wrong clothes.” When we read Struan’s Christmas letter and we saw the temperatures the family lived in, it was obvious that Struan wore the right clothes and got the most out of life despite the weather. A lesson to all of us wherever we live.
We greatly enjoyed his visits to the UK – Jersey in 95/96 with Myrra remains in the memory and others to Scotland since with Myrra and then Alison.
He knew everybody and those he did not he was keen to know how they fitted in. I have no idea how he did not lose that North East accent after more than 65 years in Canada. I think he must have practiced into a Dictaphone and played it back to himself.
I seem to remember that his favourite computer password was “Cl***y d**s” the stubborn residue that clings to a sheep’s tail. (Sorry Alison if you have to change numerous passwords) - I am not sure if you can get more Doric (North East of Scotland) than that.
I enjoyed his company and enthusiasm for life and people – a great example to us all. He was always greatly appreciative of the research I did into his Dad’s WW1 service and especially the Gallipoli campaign where he served. We also got there but the key information was lost when the Luftwaffe bombed the WW1 records office in WW2. We agreed to disagree over the Scottish National Party and its vision for an independent Scotland – something his mother would have fought against but then Struan was never afraid to challenge authority and those of us who knew his Mum knew that she was “authority.” Neither of us would back down but there was never any falling out.
He was very generous in his communications and comments when I lost my dear wife Trudi in early February following a motor accident. Little did I know that he was unwell and we would lose him within weeks. Even in death choosing MAiD showed courage and consideration to prevent his family from further suffering. He was’t feart.
Go well Struan, I am sure there is another mountain to climb, a ski-tour to do, a tune to be played and somebody from Huntly waiting for foo’reye deein? and a good blether.

I first met Struan at an annual BC Recreation and Parks Conference in the 60’s. His leadership, enthusiasm and passion were highly valued and respected, most particularly by the other Recreation Directors from the East and West regions he mentored - they called themselves the “Kootenay Rubes.” Over the years, his nightly guitar-led sing-a-longs following conference sessions were legendary - a powerful bonding factor for all of us. He brought value to all that he did ...throughout his life. Eventually we each changed jobs, no longer connecting in person but still staying in touch. He was a generous, caring person and a special friend. I shall miss our newsy emails, his beautiful photos and the occasional “wee chat”. I am consoled to learn that Struan chose MAiD: a chance to leave on his own terms with some semblance of control over his circumstances; an opportunity to properly participate in and experience his good byes with his loving family and close friends - a dignified and meaningful departure.

I have fond memories of Struan Robertson and have oft quoted him while teaching school, college and community fitness classes. He was the Kimberley Recreation Director when I taught grade 6 at the old Watkins Elementary School 1969 - 1972. He told me, “Any sport worth doing is worth doing poorly.” We can all delight in sport and benefit from fitness without thinking we need perfect technique or competitive skill. Thanks to Struan’s advice, I’m still enjoying physical activity and will continue to do so, imperfectly, despite knee surgery last week. Sheila Bonny (nee Doig)

Our thoughts are with Alison and all the family at this sad time. I still have strong memories of our younger days. For example Struan’s mum (my Auntie Dot) had been using her sewing machine, stopped to make a meal. Going back to her sewing machine lifted the hood and what a shock she got. Struan had been collecting frogs and slipped them underneath the hood. Obviously they were glad to be freed, but then we were all on our hand and knees recovering the freed frogs. This was Struan full of fun smiles and always ready to help anyone. He will be sadly missed by all the people who he motivated along life’s way. All our thoughts and love to the family at this time.

The words gentle, kind, inspiring, no-nonsense, and entertaining come to mind when I think of Struan. He was the best ambassador for Kimberley, the outdoors, and the active lifestyle. I remember the first time my parents visited Kimberley from The Netherlands, and they told me about this kind man they met on a walk. This person was interested to hear where they were from and the reason for their visit, and quickly figured out who their daughter was. He made sure to tell them I had settled in and was doing well in Kimberley. They had a very pleasant visit with this gregarious man with a Scottish accent. Struan's smile always brightened my day and will be missed by many.
My heartfelt condolences to Alison and the entire family.

We first met Struan where'd you'd expect to meet him, on a trail in the Kimberley Nature Park. It was early summer. He and Alison were on the lookout for orchids. In the winter we'd see them skiing along Upper Army or at the curling rink. Alison deadly accurate with her rocks and Struan running up and down the ice as if it were pavement, with wide grin on his face. After the game, upstairs Struan would regale us with his life's adventures. I believe Struan had unlocked the secret to a long and happy life. Be active. Get on with it. Laugh. Make connections. Sing. Stop and smell the roses. Love. My goodness Mr. Robertson you will be missed. Sending our heart felt condolences to Alison and the Robertson family. Kim Wiltshire and Mike Stechyshyn.

Struan’s handling of the situation came as no surprise - the action of a very brave resolute principled man and I so glad everything went smoothly and his passing was peaceful. Struan was a truly remarkable guy and it was such a privilege to know him so well.
I first met Struan in 1951 when we met at Aberdeen station with to set off with a lot of other lads for the Scout International Jamboree at Bad Ischl in Austria. And of course I got to know him a whole lot better when i became “friendly” with his “Bonny” sister Anna. Mind you I’m sure he called all his sisters the same! Our friendship and my respect for him grew as we met up on our trips to “Bonny B C “ and his holidays back here in Scotland. I never ceased to be amazed at the vast number of people he knew and who had to be visited when he was back here. And he never lost his strong Buchan/Doric accent in all the many years he spent in Canada. Amazing! Aye Struan was a truly remarkable man and his legacy of helping people caring for people entering people and just being there for people will never be forgotten. That canna be said about everybody.
And of course he carved out such a successful career in Canada which must bring so much pride and joy to you all.
But it goes without saying that his greatest pride and joy came from his family each one of whom he loved and adored and I’m sure each and every one of you felt the same about Struan or “Strudle” as Andrew sometimes called him. Aye Struan was a truly remarkable man whom I cared so much for and greatly admired and respected. I feel I owe him a big thank you but what can I say but thank you Struan for……well just being Struan. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
Take care and best regards. Uncle Jim (Morrison)

I knew Struan as a voice of experience and wisdom in the Kimberley Nature Park Society, as a tireless worker in and proponent for the Horsebarn valley recreation area, as a talented musician in a variety of groups and venues, as a fellow worker with chain saws on the Alki and Pyramid creek trails in the St. Mary valley, and as a lover of the outdoors and the creatures in the outdoors like his Pikas and the Swans on St. Mary lake.
He was always cheerful and enthusiastic and was incredibly fit and tough, even as his age advanced. He has some fame in our trail clearing crew because while the rest of us carried water shoes for crossing a small but wild creek, Struan would wade through in his hiking boots. Wet boots and socks for the day seemed to have no effect on Struan.
Struan was Kimberley's best ambassador for self-propelled outdoor recreation of all kinds and he and his smile will be missed by many.

I first met Struan around 1954 when he arrived at Pirbright army training camp in Surrey in the South of England. He was in the Scots Guards and I was in the Coldstream Guards, and he joined us as an instructor in the gym. As there was already a Robertson in the gym Struan was always known as ‘Robbie 2’. He enthusiastically took part in all our activities which included the compulsory weekly cross country 5-mile run where he and I were always challenging each other to be first over the line.
He used to keep us entertained on a night by reading out the local Huntly newspaper which was regularly sent down to him. Unfortunately this paper was written in Doric (an old north of Scotland dialect) which I, as a Scotsman, had to translate for the other lads. They came from all over the country so couldn’t understand a word of the Doric.
After our period of national service was over we went our separate ways but always kept in touch. Over the years he used to send us amazing pictures of the family (which I called the ‘Robertson Regiment of Foot’) and the countryside where they used to hike, ski, canoe etc. We were always jealous of the amazing outdoor lifestyle which Struan and Alison continued to enjoy.
For all the distances apart, as old army mates we stayed very close.
Sheena and I were devastated to hear the news of Struan’s passing, and we send our deepest condolences and love to Alison and all the family. Struan will be sorely missed by many, many people.

I was saddened to learn of Struan’s passing and wanted to reflect and share some of my memories of him and the significant influence he had on my life. I worked for Struan as a swim instructor, lifeguard, and playground leader in Kimberley in the 60’s.
As I am sure everyone will agree, Struan saw the importance of recreation, of play, of physical activity and of the outdoors in everyone’s life. Struan taught us to be involved in the community because he had a clear vision of what made a community healthy. He was a dedicated, innovative leader. He was kind and funny and embraced every day with enthusiasm. And that was contagious! He also showed me that having faith in the people around him was important and it pushed us all to be better and achieve more than we thought we were capable of.
While the accolades for his professional life are many, he also showed us all how to be a great parent and a great friend. I am truly grateful for his support throughout my life and for providing me with ongoing guidance and inspiration.
Struan's big welcoming smile and his zest for life will be missed, but I trust all of us to keep the values he held dear alive and thriving and to continue contributing to the legacy he has left behind.

On Struan and Alison's last couple of trips to Scotland, they included the journey up to the Shetland Islands to visit Struan's sister (and my mum) Ouaine. Mum's health had been failing and Struan was keen to spend time with her and support the rest of us with her care. He did this with so much kindness, sensitivity and love. My happy memory to share is a day we spent at the peathill. We still burn peat here for fuel, and there's work involved to cut the earth, dry the clods, turn them and finally bag them up. Struan and Alison came to help for the day and to enjoy a picnic up on the hill. It seemed the perfect day out for Struan, and he was in his element. He was doing something physical out in nature and helping us out. He was also so interested in the tools we were using and the history of it all. He could also look at the birds and the little alpine flowers growing there. But most of all I think he enjoyed this connection with our family and community. You always felt that mattered most to him. We are all devastated here that he is gone, but are so glad to have got to know him better through his visits here and many phonecalls when mum was ill. We can only imagine how hard this has been for Alison and all his family and are sending all our love and condolences. Jenny, David, Joe and Dougie Smith

Back in 2011 a few volunteers from the newly budding trails society were out in Lowes Pass cutting a route above the Matthew Creek Road. The trick was to find a way past the Talus Slope up from Horsebarn Valley over to the backside. We’d heard that Struan would often ski around the mountain so we called him up to learn about the route. “There isn’t really a formal route” he said.. Next thing I know we were out near the Talus slope and Struan was saying that the trail went through a marsh and either down to an old logging road or, in the summer, you could climb up a steep slope and just a trail above and passed the Talus slope.
It was then he said, but I have an idea, I think we could build a rock across the rock slide to the top on the other side. As we picked our way through the rocks, I thought, this wasn’t feasible but thankfully with Struan’s vision and Colin and others building skills a basic trail was built, across the slope in time for the first RTM..
Struan and Alison were an integral part of Round the Mountain and for many years were known to many participants as the Trail Marshall's at the Tora Bora rockslide. Here they are marking the route in 2016. back in the spring of 2011 when RTM was just a budding idea and we were looking for the route round the mountain. Struan thanks for all you've done.
Condolences to the family.

Back in the sixties he trying to get enough players to set up a commercial hockey league. He phoned me up to help
him come up with some names of guys who might be interested in playing hockey. One other note was when he was out
at Ft. Steele as the general manager, the mare had a foal and he named it Ft. Steele Wee McGregor. From that time on my late wife Barb and I always called the newborn Wee McGregor. Rest in peace Struan.
