Francis C. Robertson, III, age 55, of Billerica, MA, passed away on Friday, December 27, 2024, in the comfort of his home-away-from home in Sebago, ME. He was the beloved life partner of Heather (Neary) Sharrock, with whom he shared nineteen wonderful years.
Born in Lawrence, MA, the son of the late Francis C. Robertson II, and Doris (Rheaume) Robertson, Francis was raised in Andover, MA, and was a graduate of Greater Lawrence Vocational Technical School, class of ‘88. He worked for Ryder Trucking for many years and most recently was employed with Bay State Pool Company.
Outgoing by nature and most comfortable when surrounded by family and many friends, Francis loved to host social gatherings where many would gather. He loved to host at home in Billerica as well as at his home in Sebago, ME. Remembered for his sense of humor and ability to make anyone feel most welcome, Francis made each person he encountered feel like a lifelong friend. A master at grilling, he was always first to fire up his grill and prepare superb meals for all in attendance.
With a love for life, family and friends were the center of his attention, especially with his grandson, Carson, whom he loved so much.
