It is with great sadness that the family of Robert Roderick Risser, 29 of First South, announces his passing on Thursday, October 27, 2016 at the South Shore Regional Hospital, Bridgewater.

He then went on to take a trucking course in Debert, working up to recently with a number of various trucking companies.
His love of his life was his two children, Emily and Jacob and he cherished the time spent with them. An avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed hunting, playing hockey and a good game of poker.
Over the years Robert struggled with failing health but he always faced life with bravery and strength that gave inspiration to so many.
