    From my vantage point, Everett was a strong, calm, peaceful and loving man who has left a healthy, thriving branch of the family tree as an amazing legacy. You can’t do this without creating an environment of love and respect which is something I always felt strongly any time I had the honor of being around. My deepest condolences to Jeremy, Jay, Jamie and Joel and the rest of your incredible Robson tree!

    Very sorry to hear of this. The end of an era (from the John (Jack) Robson Freeborn branch of the family. I recall visiting in the 60’s and playing “body snatch ” on a huge limb with the 4 J’s (and tumbling down – a clear loser). Lyse and Bruce Freeborn who enjoyed time at the B&B, send their condolences also. Neil and Brenda in Ottawa.
