Robert E. Hlavaty
May 13, 2016, Age 78.
Loving husband of Mary for 55 years. Beloved father of Robert H. Hlavaty and Leigh Hlavaty (Chris Lyster). Robert retired from Henry Ford Community College in 2002 after 40 years of teaching auto technology and service. Avid hobbyist and pet lover.
Funeral Mass Friday 11:30am at Divine Child Catholic Church (1001 N. Silvery Lane, Dearborn), gathering from 11:00am. Memorials can be made to the Michigan Humane Society in Robert’s honor.
As a young child I remember my grandmother Emma's family coming to Plymouth for a visit. Now that I am older I know family history is important and I am so sorry we didn't connect sooner. If there is anything you need to know about our side of the family tree, feel free to contact me. I am so sorry for your loss.

Bob taught me how to rebuild transmissions at HFCC back in 1979...he was big proponent of adding an auxiliary trans cooler to extend the life of the transmission. RIP
