Robert J. Getty, 60, of County Route 31 passed away Saturday, February 28, 2026, at his home

Born on October 10, 1965, in Glens Falls, NY, he was the son of Ralph and Jean (Churchill)

Getty.

Robert was a lifelong resident of Hebron and was a 1984 graduate of Washington Academy in

He operated Field and Stream Farm, a family dairy farm. He was a 43-year member of the

Hebron Fire Company where he held many positions.

Robert will be remembered as being devoted to his family and the community. He shared his

love of agriculture with his daughter, and his passion for hunting with his son. He took delight in

building a massive garden with his loving wife every year.

He was pre-deceased by his parents.

Survivors include his wife, Sheila; his children, Cory (Samantha) Clarkson and Julie (Freddie)

Wolff; three grandchildren that he adored, Sophie, Riley, and Jackson; a brother, David (Susan)
