IN MEMORY

Marty Robertson - Class Of 1965

Martin F. Robertson, age 75, a resident of Kenosha, died Wednesday, February 8, 2023, at his residence.  Born on November 23, 1947 in Waukegan, IL, he was the son of the late Forbes and Violet (Hellquist) Robertson.  He was educated in the schools of Kenosha.  He married Roberta Smith, and they would later divorce.  He worked for many years in the construction industry.

Marty was very involved in his community.  He took great pride in volunteering and giving rides to people in need.  He was also known for his pride in Wisconsin sports.  He was an avid supporter of the Green Bay Packers and Milwaukee Brewers.  He loved all sports in general, and he spent years coaching all kinds of sports for kids.  You could always count on Marty to be the life of the party, no matter what the occasion was.  Friends and family will fondly remember his loud, gruff voice and Wisconsin accent, but the heart of a teddy bear.  He also passed along his love of B horror movies and books to both of his children.  He will be greatly missed by the community of Kenosha, and even more so by his family and friends. He was an incredible father and grandfather.

He is survived by one son, Matthew (Tracey) Robertson of Texas; one daughter, Marcia Roberts (Roger White) of Iowa; eight grandchildren:  Alex, Adam, Jeremy, Rachael, Stephanie, Jennifer, Joshua and Ashley; and seven great-grandchildren.  He is further survived by three brothers:  Jim, Michael and Richard; and three sisters:  Jean Ditzenberger, Joanne (John) Rauschl and Deborah (John) Dingman.

He was preceded in death by his parents and a sister, Judy Schran.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, February 18, 2023, at 5:00PM in the Kemper Center Founder's Hall (6501 Third Avenue).  Visitation with the family will be on Saturday in Founder's Hall from 4:00PM until the time of services.  Burial will take place at a later date.
