Bob was my music teacher when I was a student at Carl Sandburg Jr High in the mid-60s and I bumped into him a few years later when I was a teacher at Palatine Hills/Sundling Jr High.

What I remember the most about him was his passion for music and teaching. He was a gentleman.

May his familys memories of Bob be a blessing.

I took Mr. Hannenberg's Rock 1 class in 8th grade at Winston Park Jr. High in 1985. It opened an undiscovered world to me which has inspired me throughout my adult life. I wanted to tell Mr. Hannenberg how much I appreciated the class, but on the last day refrained out of shyness. After thinking about it for years I searched the web for him, only to find this obit. So thank you Mr. Hannenberg for affecting my life in a positive way.

My last memory of you, Bob, will always stay with me: "Lore-e-en!!!!!!!!!!!" you screamed, "who is playing violin? it was Masha, who I asked to play for you. "Of course!", she said.
I thought it was so amazing!!!!!! That you still enjoyed tlistening to the music! Next time I was in your house, you weren't in it, but I practiced my Haydn concerto thinking "grandpa would probably enjoy this very much..." I wished you'd been there.... When I attended your funeral, I couldn't help it not to cry thinking:"I should've played for him much more".
I'm so thankful I got to know you a little, Bob, and my daughters and I got to visit you quite a bit in a last half a year or so. I loved coming into your room and touching your soft hand and hearing "how are you, Honey?"
You told me so many times you were so tired. Well, enjoy the presence of our Lord, Dear Grandpa! We will miss seeing you at Loren's house, but will see you later!
Dear Loren and Carl, thank you for your friendship and accept my best regards and condolences.

I'm very saddened to loose my cousin Bobby. My earliest recollection of him was when I was five years old and my family's home caught on fire. My little sister and I were sent off to stay at different relative's homes while our house was being repaired. When I stayed at my Aunt Dorothy's home I remember ,to this day, how sad I was because I missed my Mom and our home.
Aunt Dorothy's son was Bobby, at that time he was about eighteen years old. I'm sure he felt sorry for this sad little girl so he took me for a walk. To this day I can remember our conversation. Bobby talked very kindly to me and made me feel better about my situation.
That was fifty-five years ago and as long as I have known Bobby, he was always loving, kind, generous, and sensitive. My life is richer for having a cousin like Bobby and I will miss him for the rest of my life.

Dear Carl, Loren, and Family, I was very saddened to hear of your father's death. He was a brilliant musician, a remarkable teacher and a wonderful human being. Our schools and community were better places because of his contributions. Bob Hannenberg was one of the nicest men that I ever met in my life. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

May your memories bring you joy and peace. Your father was my grade school music teacher for many years. I also took private piano lessons from him in his home. Because of him, not only do I have an appreciation for music, but I was able to pass the joy of music to my three sons. Mr Hannenberg touched many lives.

My sincerest condolences. Your father and I worked very closely when I was Principal of Kimball Hill, Jonas Salk and Carl Sandburg your Father was the vocal music teacher.

Loren and Carl, so sorry to hear about your father. I remember him well from way back when my mother would come over for piano lessons.
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Bob and I taught music together at Carl Sandburg Jr. High in Rolling Meadows for many years. We shared good times together and lots of laughs. Bob was a credit to the teaching profession because of his sincerity and work ethic.

the best, sincere teachers I ever worked with. I remember he even started a Gregorian Chant Choir at
