QUEENSBURY – Robert C. Rich, 65, of Robert Gardens North, passed away on Friday, August 23, 2013, at his home.
Bob was born on August 12, 1948, in Glens Falls. He was the son of Robert P. Rich and Joyce (Lowell) Rich, both deceased in 2009 and 1960 respectively. He was also fortunate to have Jeannine (Cahill) Rich as his step-mother since 1961.
Bob defined himself by his work in sales, of which he took great pride; and earned a reputation of high integrity with his work ethic and kindness towards others. Although his work required constant travel, his personal interests were in traveling, meeting new people, and a passion for learning and discovery. He wishes to thank all the people he met in his life for the many kindnesses and courtesies offered to him.
He leaves behind the love of his life, Francine Martel of Marlborough, Massachusetts, a brother, John A. Rich and his wife Marjorie, and their children; a former wife and dear friend, Lyn L. Rich and her daughters Tawn Knights and Tara Houseworth, and their families of Glens Falls.
At Bob’s request there will be no calling hours.
Interment of Bob’s ashes, with a Christian burial, will be at the convenience of his family, at Greenmount Cemetery, in Whitehall.
Arrangements are under the direction of the Carleton Funeral Home Inc., 68 Main St., Hudson Falls.
Bob was a great guy to have known the past 2 yrs., as my neighbor I will miss running into him as I did from time to time. Who in this day would leave a note & pay to repair a “scratch” they made by mistake to your vehicle- A very decent man is the person I knew…
