John Robertson

John B. Robertson, 85, of Bethlehem, passed away on October 21, 2025, surrounded by his family. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend. John was born on November 25, 1939, in Rockledge, Pennsylvania, to the late William and Janet (Bannerman) Robertson, Scottish immigrants. John moved to Pineville at the age of nine. Growing up in Pineville was a wonderful and important time in John's life and will always hold a special place in his heart.
