We are sad to announce that on April 25, 2026, at the age of 75, Robert Ward Risley of New Hartford, New York passed away. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid farewell to this luminous soul, let his loved ones carry forward the torch of his memory, illuminating the path ahead with the warmth of his love and the brilliance of his spirit. Though Robert may journey beyond the horizon of our sight, his essence remains woven into the very fabric of our being — a guiding light in the darkness, a beacon of hope in the night.
In lieu of flowers, Bob's family would like to share his affinity for Abraham House in Rome, New York, which showed incredible compassion and care for Bob and his children during the loss of their mother, and Bob donated to Abraham House each Christmas season.
