James B. Robertson

James Robertson, 86, a lifelong resident of Stamford, CT, passed away peacefully on May 7, 2025. Born on January 18, 1939, he was affectionately known as “Scotty” and was a true pillar of his community. He will be remembered for his unwavering dedication to family and friends, his generous spirit, patriotism, and enduring faith. Scotty’s love for family and friends was at the heart of his life. A devoted husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend, his warmth and support were constant in the lives of those he loved. Scotty was always drawn to adventure and cherished annual trips, including camping at Camp Candlewood and in the White Mountains, skiing at Mount Snow, countless golf outings, and boating excursions with the West Point Crew to the USMA. Scotty’s culinary talents delighted friends and relatives with legendary holiday feasts, dinner parties, and barbecues. A proud graduate of Wright Technical School, Scotty built a distinguished career as a tool engineer and designer. He later graduated with an MBA from Sacred Heart University and ran his own manufacturing business. Scotty remained dedicated to his high school alma mater and championed the refurbishment of Wright Tech as well as the initiation of an academic scholarship through the State Street Debating Society. Scotty cared deeply for his community and was a longtime member of the State Street Debating Society and the Knights of Columbus. He greatly respected the missions of both organizations and cherished the enduring friendships created within them. Scotty was a faithful Catholic and spent many years singing in the choir of St. Cecilia’s Church, where he and Barbara were married in 1966. Scotty also served in the Army Reserves, a duty he held dear. He is survived by Barbara, his loving wife of 58 years, daughters Sunny (Eddie) and Analisa (Chris), grandsons James and Quinn, sister JoAnn, brother-in-law Chippy, and many loving nieces and nephews from the Chiappetta, Plomitallo, and Robertson families. His legacy of generosity, service, resilience, and humor will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. Services to celebrate Scotty’s life are the following. Visitation will be held on Friday, May 9th, from 4pm - 8 pm at Bosak Funeral Home & Cremation, 453 Shippan Avenue, Stamford, CT.
