ROBERT ALAN "BOB" GLAISEK

Robert "Bob" Alan Glaisek (b. November 9, 1933) passed away peacefully, on October 30, 2025, in Toronto. He was predeceased by his wife, Carolyn. He will be dearly missed by his only son, Christopher; grandsons, Mylo and Kai; and daughter-in-law, Kyra Clarkson. Bob was a talented painter and visual artist who grew up in The Bronx in a family of musicians. He attended the High School of Industrial Arts in Manhattan. Drafted in 1956, he served as a technical illustrator at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, where his monumental mural artwork remains on permanent view. He moved to Mexico City to study art, which sparked a lifelong interest in international politics. Bob opened an art gallery in Provincetown, Massachusetts, in the early 1960s. He then established a studio in Englewood, New Jersey, and began teaching life drawing and painting. His unique methodology and dedication to his students earned him a loyal following. Bob moved his studio to Nyack, New York, and taught popular courses at the Old Church Cultural Center in Demarest, New Jersey, for the last 30 years of his career. Bob will forever be remembered as a beloved art instructor and mentor. His lifelong commitment to making art culminated in a solo exhibit in Chelsea in the 1990s. A celebration of Bob's life is being planned for the spring.
