Retiring Town of Carlyle Superintendent of Public Works, Peter Robertson was honoured at a celebratory lunch at the Carlyle Civic Centre, Thursday, June 15 by members of council and his colleagues, past and present.
Robertson - who has served the Town of Carlyle for 27 years - was lauded for both his exemplary service and his sense of humour.
Former Town Administrator Huguette Lutz - filling in for Mayor Wayne Orsted - said: “It's a privilege to say farewell to a wonderful colleague and friend.”
“Peter, we've all had a lot of fun working with you over the years,” she added. “And I think the entire staff would agree with me when I say that you being able to make people laugh in the most dire situations is one of the best things about working with you.”
“You've been a loyal employee of the Town of Carlyle and I know the council, your fellow employees, and residents of Carlyle all really appreciate what you've done in helping Carlyle move forward. ”
Robertson's replacement, Todd Thompson, said of his former boss; “It's been a pleasure, Pete. I hope I'm half as good at the job as you are. Thank you for the support; you've been a great mentor and friend.”
“You've left pretty big shoes to fill.”
