HUDSON FALLS – Robert W. Quinones, Sr., 64, passed away peacefully at his home on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, following a short illness. His loving wife was by his side.
Born January 17, 1960, in Middletown, New York, Robert was the son of the late George and Anita (Cole) Quinones.
Robert was a 1979 graduate of Westwood High School in New Jersey.
He was a professional painter for several years employed by Better Than New Painting of Hudson Falls. Robert took immense pride in his work and never disappointed his employers or customers.
Robert married the love of his life, Teresa Santanello on February 16, 1985, at a quaint ceremony in The Township of Washington, New Jersey.
He was an avid bicycle rider. Robert rode his bike everywhere throughout Warren, Washington, and Saratoga Counties. He even talked his brother Gary into taking a bike ride with him. Robert led Gary to Ticonderoga and eventually ended up at Rogers Rock State Park. He loved listening to all kinds of music. One day it would be Ozzy and the next day it would be Patti LaBelle. He loved playing the drums. There were countless weekends when Robert and his friends got together and played music for his family and the neighbors. Robert also loved being outdoors, spending time fishing, kayaking, and gardening.
Most of all, Robert was an amazing husband, father, and grandfather. He loved his children unconditionally and taught them that there is nothing more important in life than family. Robert took his children’s friends under his wings and loved them as his own. He was a father figure to them all. His legacy will forever live on in his children and grandchildren.
In addition to his parents, Robert was predeceased by his brother, Gary Quinones.
