Arthur Winford Robertson, Jr.

Arthur Winford Robertson, Jr., 66, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, at the Dialysis Center in Burlington. He was born on May 22, 1959, in Alamance County, to the late Arthur Winford Robertson, Sr. and Peggie Carol Gerringer Robertson.

Arthur dedicated 17 years of his life as an electrician, retiring in 2024 from Rudy Hawkins Electrical Company, where he was known for his skillful workmanship and commitment to excellence. Before his successful career in electrical work, he traveled far and wide as a subcontractor for AT&T, leaving his footprints in Hawaii, Japan, Australia, and Midway. His career also took him to Southeast Asia with the Gilbarco Company, experiences that enriched his life and broadened his perspectives.

As an entrepreneur, Arthur had a flair for the restaurant and brewery industry, where he not only cultivated his business ventures but also his love for growing hops. He was a gifted bartender, sharing his passion for inventing drinks with countless patrons. His talents were truly remarkable; he invented and manufactured his own scuba diving suits, showcasing his creative spirit and determination. As a certified Scuba Diver Instructor, Arthur inspired many in the aquatic world. He even constructed his own log cabin, a testament to his hands-on skills and love for building.

Arthur was an outdoorsman at heart. He relished the thrill of hunting in his younger years and cherished the peaceful moments spent fishing whenever he could escape to the beach. His connection to nature was profound, offering him both comfort and joy.

Beyond his career and hobbies, Arthur was a beloved family member and friend. He is survived by his sister, Beth Robertson Money and her husband James; his devoted canine companion Coco, who provided him with unwavering love and support. He also leaves behind his dear friend and caregiver, Donna Andrews; his best friend, Steve Hollan; his special friend, Carol Butler, along with numerous cousins who were touched by his spirit and kindness.

Arthur now has been reunited with his loving parents, Arthur "Pig" Winford Robertson, Sr. and Peggie "Peg" Carol Gerringer Robertson; his brother, Mark Lee Robertson; and several aunts and uncles, who surely welcomed him with open arms.
