Robert Hanger Obituary

I died at the age of 87 on Tuesday, February 3, at the Kansas City Hospice House. The cause was cancer. This is the shorter, day-2 version of my obit, just to let you know about the services again. A longer, much more entertaining version is available at legacy.com/kansascity. On Friday, a 9 a.m. visitation will be followed by a 10:30 a.m. Mass of Christian burial at Visitation Church, 5141 Main St., in Kansas City, Mo. Interment will be at Calvary Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to a charity of your choice or to Kansas City Hospice at 9221 Ward Parkway, Suite 100, Kansas City, MO 64114. (Arr.: Muehlebach Funeral Home, 816-444- 2060, at www.muehlebachchapel.com.)

I did not know your beloved but what a person He must have been, I think the world is a better place because of Him. I too read his obituary and was sorry I didn't know him.

Please accept my condolences.

Dearest family. I cannot imagine a world without Bob. He was a true gentlemen; warm, intelligent, interested in life, and a great conversationalist. I will miss our talks on history. My life was so enriched by knowing him. Love, Laura

Thank you for using the first person obit. I share your father's abhorrence of the typical obituary. Although I did not know your father at all, I read every word of his obituary and plan to steal his idea for my own.
Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss.

Bob, you will be missed. I always sought you out at Crowe family gatherings because you always had a great sense of humor and humored me whenever I asked questions about your experiences in World War II.

Dear friend and cousin, Paul, it was so nice to talk with you tonight and hear the stories around your Dad's life and dying. Thank you for sharing them with me. Be assured that I will have the other Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet here in St. Louis keep you and all your family in our prayer. And please know I delighted in the obituary that your Dad wrote; so glad all of you decided to "go with it." How creative and down-to-earth, yes?
Love to you, Suzy, Gus, Millie, Max.
