FAIRPORT – Robert Jerome Warren (Jerry), born in Rochester, NY on September 5,1943, passed away on December 31, 2024 at the age of 81. He was predeceased by his parent’s Joseph and Jessie Warren.

Jerry attended Ithaca College and earned a bachelor’s degree in international studies/political science. He earned his master’s degree in education from SUNY Geneseo. Jerry was a history teacher in the Wheatland-Chili school district for many years. He led several Monroe County, Model U.N. groups of students on annual trips to The Hague, Netherlands where they would learn about government and debate. Jerry owned his own photography business, which was a year-round job but particularly great in the summer, specializing in weddings. For many years he was involved in local politics and is probably best known, to this day, as being the Mayor of Scottsville.
After retiring as a teacher, Jerry became a realtor where he enjoyed a successful career of 20 years selling houses. Jerry enjoyed traveling the globe and he and Jean rode all over the United States on his Harley Davidson. As an avid guitar player, Jerry and Jean would play at local nursing homes for the residents and this brought joy to both of them during their retirement years.
