Robert Fred Muir
1924-2021
We mourn the loss of our dear father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Robert “Bob” Muir on Feb. 14, 2021. After the passing of his wife, Nancy Y. Muir, in December 2020, we are sure that he is now enjoying this Valentine’s Day with his Valentine.
Bob was born to Fred and Ella Muir on Sept. 22, 1924, in Mechanicville, NY. Bob and his sister, Luella, grew up in Mechanicville, north of Albany, and as they were 18 months apart in age, they were very close. Bob’s family enjoyed summer vacations at Lake George, and Bob cultivated a newspaper route near his home. After graduating Mechanicville High School at 16 years of age, he attended a business school in Troy, N.Y.
