Deputy Platoon Chief Stephen John Robson

Canadian Forces Base Fire Department 16 January 1967 to 24 May 1991

Steve as he was known by family and friends, was a very thoughtful person. Always there for everyone to lend a hand. You never had to ask twice. Loved to tell jokes and pull pranks on people, but when it came to work, he was very serious. He was one of nine children and second oldest in the family. His brothers and sisters looked up to him and often depended on his help and advice. 

Steve raised seven children over the years.

Steve's father, Ross Robson, was also a member of the Base Borden Firefighters for a number of years. Both men were on the Essa Township Volunteer Firefighters out of Thornton, ON for many years. Steve was a self-taught wood worker. Many family and friends cherished his work and still have items he made.

Steve's death March 29th, 2019, was work related. He died from Pancreatic Cancer. He was very brave during his illness and rarely complained. He is truly missed and thought of each day by his family and friends, rest in peace, Steve, love family and friends.
