Robert was married to Dolores Nokes on June 12, 1954 and enjoyed 60 years of loving marriage.
In addition to working hard most of his life, he did take time to camp in the Adirondacks, sail on Lake George, ski at Gore Mountain and golf at Glens Falls Country Club and out West with his family. He very much enjoyed getting together with his mother, brothers, sister and extended family, and all the children from such a large family.
In addition to his parents, Robert was predeceased by his son, Stephan Carruthers; his brothers, Henry Carruthers, Warren Carruthers and George Carruthers; his sister's in-law, Stephanie Carruthers, Betty Carruthers, and Liz Carruthers; his brother in-law, Dewey Powell and son in-law, Hank Kimmey.
He is survived by his wife, Dolores; daughter, Diane Kimmey; son, Thomas and his wife, Linda; daughter in-law, Nancy; three grandchildren, Michael Brown and his wife, Jennifer, Lucia Carruthers and her husband, Chris Lang and Jessica Carruthers; three great grandchildren, Alexandria, Evan and Vivienne. He is also survived by his brother, Gerald; his sisters, Joan Powell and Audrey Pierremont; sister in-law, Tina along with many nieces and nephews.
Per Roberts's request, funeral services and burial will be held privately for the family at the Gerald BH Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery in Schuylerville.
