Robert T. Clary

Robert T. Clary, 68, of Howlett Hill, passed away suddenly at Crouse Hospital on Sunday. A lifetime resident of the Syracuse area, Bob was a graduate of West Genesee High School and earned a degree from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. He recently retired from Secure Network Technologies where he was a founding partner.

 A man of many passions, Bob had a deep love for music, particularly live performances, which brought him immense joy throughout his life. He was often found at local breweries, sharing laughs and stories with his wife, close friends, and the community he cherished. Bob also had a keen sense of adventure and a deep appreciation for the beauty of the world, traveling extensively to new places and capturing special moments through his love of photography.

 Despite his many interests and accomplishments, Bob’s greatest joy came from spending time with his family. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who cherished every moment with his loved ones, especially his grandchildren, who brought endless happiness to his life.

Bob was predeceased by his parents, Joan (Offerman) and Robert. 

Surviving are his loving wife of 46 years, Darlene “Jackie”; daughters, Rebecca (Markus) Roth of Northern VA and Lisa (Alexander) Stoenner of Rochester; sister, Debora (Ross Molgano) Clary of Camillus; brothers, Michael and Thomas, both of Camillus and James (Jeanne) Clary of High Point, N.C.; grandchildren, Remy, Oren, Sydney and Gavin; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

To celebrate Bob’s life, relatives and friends are invited to gather on Friday, October 25, 2024, from noon to 2 p.m. at Buranich Funeral Home, 5431 W. Genesee St., Camillus.
