Aldham Edward Robarts
1929 – 2021
My husband, Aldham Edward Robarts, known as Aldie, was born in Toronto 29 July 1929. He died,very well cared for in a nursing home in Manchester, 30 August 2021, having succumbed to dementia.
Even under these circumstances, everyone who came into contact with him appreciated his charm and enjoyment of life.
He was the eldest of the four children of John Robarts, Hand of the Cause, and his wife Audrey. His parents became Bahá'ís when he was a child, and he himself declared his allegiance to the Faith when he was 15 years old. When his parents pioneered to Bechuanaland (later renamed Botswana), he answered the call for pioneers to Nigeria and Ghana.
As Aldie was working for a British company, John Holt, and after a serious car accident, they brought him back to London. He then worked for Proctor and Gamble, living in Liverpool and then Newcastle upon Tyne, where he served on the Local Spiritual Assemblies, as well as giving talks all over Britain.
He was then sent by the Thompson Newspaper Organisation to Bangkok where he served as Chair of the National Spiritual Assembly of Thailand, as well as undertaking teaching trips up-county.
On returning to Britain, Aldie founded a newspaper, The Wirral Globe, and the full time running of a demanding business, and the demands of family life, meant he was inactive in Bahá'í events, however, he ran his business according to Bahá'í principles such as the equality of men and women, and he instituted a profit-sharing scheme.
Aldie felt that serving the community was an important way of serving God's purpose for this age, so he donated some of his wealth as contributions to two libraries at John Moore's University in Liverpool. He contributed time and money to the development of John Moore's own telescope, and to the Schools Observatory project.
After selling the business, he served without pay as Chair of the Board of Wrexham Maelor Hospital. He was also on the board of North East Wales Institute as it became Glyndwr University. Aldie also made major contributions to many other life enhancing projects in Liverpool and North Wales and was honoured, by the Queen, with an Order of the British Empire (OBE).
