The Society’s records

Everything the Society’s own records say of Cecil Roebuck: the offices held, the standings conferred, and the awards won. Where the records are silent, so is this part of the page.

In memoriam · reported Fall 1973

Of Toronto. The Fall 1973 newsletter recorded his death with that of Eleanor Coutts of Barrie: "We mourn the passing of two of our members... Our sympathies go out to their respective families." No date of death is given.

From Fall 1973, page 8.

Honours

Honorary Associate 1962
Announced by the Board of Selection alongside the year's new Fellows and Associates. The citation says plainly that he is not a craftsman: "he has given many long years of service to our Society" (a past Chairman of Toronto Branch and at that time its Treasurer as well as Treasurer of the C.S.C.L., Chairman of the Second International Assembly held in Toronto, and long a member of the Executive). "Honorary Associates are awarded very sparingly and we are happy to bestow this on Cecil as a token of our appreciation of his service to us." His wife Sadie Roebuck was raised to Fellow in the same announcement. Found, not settled: the Society’s own 25th-anniversary retrospective (Spring 1975 newsletter, p7) dates this Honorary Associate membership to 1963, a year later than this contemporary announcement; the contemporary source is followed here.
