Robert Wallace, Lakewood, NY—The Lakewood community is deeply saddened as it mourns the passing of Robert Wallace, who passed away on Sunday, October 6, 2024, following a courageous 10-year battle with aggressive prostate cancer. His family, friends, and neighbors remember him as a man of deep faith, whose strength and love for his family touched many lives.
Robert’s life was marked by his unwavering dedication to both his faith and his loved ones. He leaves behind his wife, Mary, after 49 years of marriage. The couple met in college at RIT, introduced by a professor in 1975, and built a life together that many admired. His family fondly recalls Robert’s kindness and selflessness, qualities that endeared him to all who knew him. His journey of faith and perseverance through illness was an inspiration, and his family hopes that his story will continue to bring people closer to the Lord, as he had always wished.
A fundraiser has been organized by Nathan Wallace to help support Mary, who is now facing the financial challenges left behind, including medical bills, memorial, and funeral costs. Additionally, she is grappling with the unexpected loss of Robert’s life insurance due to his long battle with cancer. The fundraiser, "In Memory of Robert Wallace: Support for Mary," has already seen an outpouring of generosity, with donations coming from friends, family, and anonymous supporters.
Among the recent contributions:
- Nathan Wallace donated $500.
- Kathy Short, $100.
- Leigh A Meyers, $50.
- Several anonymous donors contributed $100 each.
As the family navigates this difficult time, the community’s support has been a source of comfort. The love and memories Robert left behind will continue to be cherished by those whose lives he touched.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Wallace family. May Robert’s soul rest in peace, and may his family find strength in their faith and the support of those around them. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this challenging time.
