Robert E. Pack

Robert E. Pack, 67, of Watertown, passed away peacefully on February 19, 2026, at Samaritan Keep Nursing Home, where he had been a resident.

He was born on September 7, 1958, in Manhattan, the son of James and Rebecca Mae (Hall) Pack. Robert attended school in Manhattan. Following his education, he began his career as a cook at the New York Daily News. He moved to Watertown, where he worked as a civilian cook at Fort Drum for several years until his retirement.
