Hampden / Warren - Robert J. St. George, 96, died on Tuesday morning, March 17, 2026, in the Vantage Health and Rehabilitation Center in Hampden. He was just one month shy of his 97th birthday. Robert lived a very long and well fulfilled life, remaining active up until just a few years ago.

He leaves his loving and caring sons, Christopher St. George and his wife Mary of East Longmeadow, and Nicholas St. George of New Jersey, along with one grandson, Aidan St. George. He was predeceased by his brothers, Warren and Walter and sister Mary. Robert is survived by his sister Jane. He was born in Ware and grew up in Warren, son of the late Charles W. and Mary E. (Bullock) St. George.

Following graduation from Warren High School, Robert was drafted into the United States Army, serving in the Korean War. After his service, Robert graduated from Clark University in Worcester with a Bachelor of Science Degree and a Master’s Degree in Education. He then earned a Master Degree in Science from the University of North Carolina. He was passionate about science and teaching, and was a beloved Biology teacher at Horace Greeley High School in Chappaqua, New York for 27 years, prior to retiring. Newer and older students remember Mr. St. George with admiration. After he retired, Robert moved back to his roots in Warren, where he enjoyed farming. He grew vegetables, and raised goats, chickens and turkeys on his farm.

Robert held his Catholic faith close, and believed that his long and well fulfilled life was attributed to God.
