Biography
Queensbury - Robert E. Havens, 86, of Queensbury passed away Thursday, March 11, 2010 at Glens Falls Hospital following a short illness.
He was born June 2, 1923 in Glens Falls, the son of the late Harold Havens and Alice (Hilts) Havens Heffron.
Robert was a graduate of St. Mary's Academy, Class of 1941.
He was a communicant of St. Mary's Church, Glens Falls, where he was also involved with the Home School Association.
Robert was a US Army Veteran, serving in Europe during World War II and fought in the Battle of the Bulge.
Upon discharge he returned to the Glens Falls area and married Mary Rozell at St. Mary's Church on September 16, 1945 and went on to have two children.
