Bob was born on October 22, 1946, in Toledo, Ohio, to Rowland and Evelyn Hanf. Bob started dating the love of his life, Delores, at age 13, and they married in 1968.

Bob was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Louis Hanf; and sister-in-law, Shirl Keener. He is survived by his cherished wife of 57 years, Delores; children, Lauryl Kristufek (Don), Michael Hanf, and Jennifer Keys (John); his eight grandchildren, Andrew (Lily), Lucas, Taylor, Tyler (Emily), Allison, Bradley, Evelyn and Merida; sisters-in-law, Rosella Hanf and Jean Behnfeldt; and brothers-in-law, Nick Behnfeldt and Milt Keener.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, December 11th, at Newcomer Funeral Home, at 4752 Heatherdowns Blvd., from 2-7 p.m. A service will begin at 7 p.m., where his children and grandchildren will share precious memories. Other family and friends are invited to share memories as well. The family wishes any donations be made to either Cherry Street Mission or St. Jude’s, in memory of Robert E. Hanf.

Bob was my supervisor at Churchills Pharmacy. A wonderful, patient person. We used to go to Detroit and other places for the yearly Trade Shows. He guided all of us in a gentle, but firm way. He was a lot of fun. He and Delores would have the employees over to their house at Christmastime and also in the summer for pool parties and good food. He was a very good influence on everyone. May your wonderful memories comfort you during the future.

Bob Hanf was a member of our class of 1964 at Bowsher Highschool. I talk to him at our 60th reunion party. We were in Sister Gertrude in 8th grade. Rest in Peace with the Lord Bob. We all remember in our paryers for Bob and his family.
