Harold Cole Robertson, born September 24, 1958, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and loyal friend, will forever be remembered for his adventurous spirit, big heart, and unwavering love for his family.
In his younger years, he was a record-setting athlete who lived life boldly and without fear. Whether competing in sports, hunting deep in the woods, or fishing on the water from dawn to dusk, he embraced every moment outdoors with passion. He was also well known for his love of mushroom hunting, a skill he mastered and a pastime he turned into stories that brought smiles to anyone lucky enough to hear them.
He never met a stranger. With an easy smile and a love for conversation, he could strike up a connection with anyone. Generous, humorous, and full of life, he brightened every room and made people feel welcome. His laughter, his stories, and his joy for life were unmistakable.
Above all, Cole adored his family. His wife and children were truly his world, and he loved them fiercely, without hesitation, and with a loyalty that never wavered.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Betty Robertson. He is survived by his loving wife, Ramona Robertson; his children Damora Baggett, Maggie (Boyd) Brown, and Alex (Evelyn) Robertson; his grandchildren Addison and Lincoln Brown, and Liam and Raelyn Robertson; and his brother Eric (Susan) Robertson. He also leaves behind his closest friends, Jeff Carpenter, Rick Mayor, Scott Tipton, and Jay McElfresh brothers not by blood, but by bond, adventure, and a lifetime of loyalty.
A celebration of life will be held this coming summer (2026) at Seneca Lake, with a day of fishing, boating, and fun, exactly as he would have wanted, shared by the people he loved most.
