and retired in December 2005, leaving the family business in the capable hands of his son and daughter-in-law, Eddie and Cindy Robertson.  Ed was an avid car enthusiast, well known for many years among street rodders and classic car buffs.  He was Mississippi State Representative for Classic Chevy International for many years and especially active in the Chevrolet Nomad Association.  He and his wife, Mary, travelled extensively for many years in their Chevrolets to car shows around the country.  He loved living out in the country and spent many hours outdoors on his tractor working on the property or tinkering with his cars.

Ed is preceded in death by his father, Russell Robertson; his mother, Mattie Sutherland Lott; and two sisters, Toye Bennett and Eugenia Powell.

He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Mary; three sons: Eddie, Donnie, and Ronnie; one daughter, Cindy, given to him by Eddie when they were married 46 years ago.  He is also survived by one grandson, Bradley Robertson; four granddaughters: Marcie (Jason) Riddle, Marlena (Wesley) Strack, Hanna and Cali Robertson; two great granddaughters, Hailey and Breanna Rushing and two great grandsons, Orion and Jovi Cotton.

Ed was a quiet man who loved his family dearly.  He was the best husband and most loving father and grandfather you could ever hope for.
