Troy- It is with great sadness to announce that Robert W. “Bob” Hewitt, 87, of Troy passed away peacefully, January 4, 2020.
Robert was a caring, gentle, hardworking man and a loyal, dedicated husband and father.
Bob owned and operated Hewitt and Sons Service Station in Poestenkill for well over 30 years. When he retired, you could find him at Hewitt’s Farm in Brunswick. Bob loved the farm and the vast array of tractors and equipment.
He enjoyed traveling, especially to one of his favorite places, Las Vegas. Bob loved to garden, but he hated those pesky varmints that would try to steal his vegetables.
