Larry James Robertson and Shirley Sue Ulrich will celebrate their 50th anniversary.
On Sept. 23, 1962, they were married at Shirley’s parents’ farm in rural Colony. They were blessed with two children, Dawn Gough and her husband, Kelly, Princeton, Texas, and Darin Robertson and Gina Taylor of Gas. They have four grandchildren and another coming in October, Justin Gough, Amarillo, Texas, Sara Gough, Princeton, and Ashlyn and Cody Taylor, Gas.
Dawn and Darin have many fond memories of spending time with Larry while he worked. He drove a truck for the Rainbow Bread Company for 10 years. He then began working for his uncle, learning the masonry trade until investing in the business himself as Robertson Masonry. Upon retirement, Darin took over the business.
Shirley worked for H.L. Miller & Sons on and off over the years until the factory closed its doors. She spent some of that time as a housewife caring for their family, and then helping Larry with the family business.
Larry and Shirley have spent most of their married life as members of the Wesley United Methodist Church. They have been actively square dancing since 1971. They also enjoy many other outdoor activities, such as gardening, fishing, traveling but mostly just spending time with their family.
The family would like to have a card shower for Larry and Shirley.
Send any loving thoughts, fond memories, and/or congratulations to the Robertsons at P.O. Box 15, Gas, KS 66742.
