TIFFANY, ROBERT RISK (BOB) passed away Saturday, October 26, 2013. He was born January 22, 1929 to Howard S. and Katherine R. Tiffany in Chicago, IL. His father was a pilot and his family moved several times during his youth. Bob graduated from Sea Cliff High School in Sea Cliff, Long Island, NY in 1946. He attended Valley Forge Military Institute and the University of New Mexico. Bob moved to Taos, NM in 1954 with his parents following their retirement. He worked briefly for the US Forest Service but soon joined the Molybdenum Corporation of America where he would spend the rest of his career. He met his future wife, Jeanette in 1956. She was employed as a teacher at the Alice Hyson Mission School in Ranchos de Taos. They were married on December 21, 1956 at the Tiffany ranch near Taos. Their first home was a drafty, company owned cabin on the mine site near Questa. They later built a home on Cabresto Road in the village of Questa.

Bob was active in community affairs for many years, serving on the Questa School Board and helping found High Country Crime Stoppers. Bob loved hunting and fishing and traveling by Jeep in the mountains. He retired in 1988 and moved with Jeanette to the area near Alameda.
