ROBBIN HENRY CARLSON April 10, 1938 - March 9, 2018 Robbin Henry Carlson, 79, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, died on Friday, March 9, at the Grace General Hospital. Born in Venn, Saskatchewan, to Raymond and Ada Carlson, he lived most of his life in Winnipeg. Robbie was a very kind and gentle man, he enjoyed watching good old westerns on TV, listening to country music, his truck, painting, and spending many summer days on the 18th hole at Breezy Bend Country Club. He also enjoyed a varied career in his youth, but his career as an Air Canada pilot was by far his favourite. Sadly this was cut short due to a diagnosis of MS, which he fought for almost 30 years, right to the end. He is survived by his loving wife of 31 years, Anne Ryan; his daughters, Lisa (Oscar), Jill (Eric) and Joanne (Ron). His six grandchildren, Zachary (Sarah), Matthew, Ciara (Josh), James, Isabel and Max; as well as the lights of his life; his great-grandchildren, Robyn-Grey, Hunter and Désirée. He is also survived by numerous brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins, who are all bereft at his death. There will be a celebration of his life this summer in Watrous, Saskatchewan. We would like to thank all the nurses, doctors and staff at the Grace Hospital for all their kindness and care during this difficult time.
