Robert J. Stack
Obituary

Robert J. Stack, D.V.M., left us on Friday February 8, 2013, surrounded by his loving family, to be reunited with
his beloved wife, Rosemary who he greatly missed for the last four years. He was, in the truest sense of the word, a good and decent man who led a full and purposeful life. He will be greatly missed by his children, grandchildren and by all who knew and loved him.

Robert was born on June 29, 1923 in Syracuse, New York. After graduating from Manhattan College he served a three year tour of duty in the Air Force before entering Cornell Veterinary College. Upon graduating from Cornell in 1950, Robert joined his father John in the veterinary practice known as the Stack Veterinary Hospital. The practice was originally located on Bellevue Avenue in Syracuse, New York, but later re-located to Velasko Road, in the Town of Onondaga where it continues today. Two of Robert’s sons, R. Michael and Daniel continued the family tradition of practicing Veterinary Medicine and the Stack Veterinary Hospital recently celebrated its 100th anniversary, something Robert was extraordinary proud of. Long after his retirement, his many clients continued to fondly remember his years of dedicated service to their pets. Robert was a past president of the Central New York Veterinary Association and a long time member of Bellevue Country Club.

Robert was, however, most proud of all of his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. His life was centered around his family. It was a life filled with much love, laughter and compassion. He profoundly touched and shaped the lives of his eight children and was always there to guide them through the difficult times in their lives.

Robert is survived by his eight children, R. Michael (Charlene), John, Gerald (Barbara), Kevin, Colleen, Daniel (Julia), Mary Kay (John) and Rosemary, numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. He is also survived by his brothers, John and William as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Robert taught his children many lessons in life, about love, about having a fierce loyalty to one’s family and the need for toughness in the face of adversity. In the end, he also taught us that death cannot destroy the dignity of a dignified man.

Calling hours will be held Tuesday 4-7 p.m at the Edward J. Ryan & Son Funeral Home, 3180 Bellevue Ave. A mass of Christian burial will be held Wednesday February 13 10 a.m at Most Holy Rosary. Burial will be in St. Mary’s Cemetery Dewitt.
