Hugh Owen Robson

Hugh Owen Robson passed away on September 8, 2023, at the age of 68, at Victoria Hospital, London, where he was undergoing treatment for lymphoma. His graciousness and kind spirit prevailed to the end. Predeceased by his parents, Tom and Joyce Robson, and his older brother, Tom (“Rob”). Dear brother of Gwyneth and her husband Michael; Ian and his wife Diana (deceased); David and his wife Julie. Beloved uncle to Zoe and Owen; Anne and Sophie; Gail, Fiona, and Thomas. Great-uncle to Robbie.

Hugh worked for over thirty years as a nursing assistant at Windsor hospitals. He loved music, proudly singing in Walkerville Collegiate musicals, the Windsor Light Opera, and his church choir. Throughout his working life he volunteered at many musical and theatrical events at the Cleary Auditorium, Fisher Theatre, and University of Windsor. In retirement he volunteered at Metropolitan Hospital and the Windsor Regional Cancer Centre, where his smile and friendly laugh brightened people’s days. Hugh was a loyal member of St. George’s Anglican Church, Walkerville, and later, St. John’s.

Hugh’s loving and cheerful presence was indispensable at Christmas carol-sings, holidays on Lake of Bays, and at every family gathering. He was a dutiful son, devotedly caring for his aging parents; a gentle soul, open and appreciative; a gift to all who knew him.

The funeral will take place at St. John's Church, 3305 Sandwich Street, Windsor at 11:00 AM on Thursday, September 21st, 2023.
