Herbert E. "Herbie" E. Robertson, age 77 formerly of Meridean, WI died Saturday, December 14, 2013 at The Clairemont in Eau Claire, WI. Herbie was born October 27, 1937 in Meridean, WI to Sigvart and Mildred (Hanson) Robertson. He attended school in Durand and on July 8, 1961 he married Mary M. Wagner of Menomonie at Peace Lutheran Church in Menomonie. The two lived in Meridean and soon moved to the "home farm" where they spent almost his entire life, farming and milking cows. He enjoyed working with his cows and farming and also liked George Jones music and was a dedicated Green Bay Packer fan. He was a 3rd Degree Mason and went on to be a Shriner. They were members of the Meridean Lutheran Church. His smile lit any room and his laugh was followed by a twinkle in his eye. God Bless you, husband, father, grandpa, brother, uncle and friend.

Wayne, IN and Lisa Robertson of Eau Claire; three grandchildren, Wade and Ryan Bauer and Lindsay Anderson; one sister, Arlys (Woody) Swentek of the Twin Cities, MN; one brother, Sidney "Buster" (Carol) Robertson of Durand; other relatives and many friends.
