Robert (Bob) Hanson Stiver passed away peacefully on June 27th, 2025 in the presence of loved ones. He was raised in Cobleskill, NY but spent his adult life in warmer climates such as California, Okinawa, Hawaii and Saudi Arabia.
Bob met his loving wife Masako in Okinawa while serving in the US Army. After the army, Bob moved his young family to Hawaii to begin a career with the Corps of Engineers at Ft Shafter. He eventually became a Procurement Analyst and the US Army's Small & Disadvantaged Business Advocate.
Upon retiring at age 55, Bob became an activist for the Palestinian people. It became a lifelong passion.
Bob is survived by his older brother James (Marta), his daughters Keiko (Doug) West, Reiko (Wes Oh) and granddaughter Layla M. Tulloch. His beloved dog Boku will miss him dearly.
