Robert J. (BOB) HANNA III

Was born to Robert J. Hanna, Jr. and Anna V. Olsen at Seattle General Hospital on Tuesday 11/29/21. He spent his early childhood near Echo Lake in North Seattle, and adolescence on Sunny Point on Port Madison Bay, and was graduated from Bainbridge High School in 1940. He was graduated in 1950 from the U of W with a BS in Mechanical Engineering, after a stint in the Navy on the battleship South Dakota 1941-1945. He could be prodded to speak about the Battle of Guadalcanal and Savo Island. He started work at Sperry Gyroscope after college, and retired an Ordnance Supervisor from Boeing Aerospace Division in 1981 after 30 years of service. He died at home in Seattle with his family Tuesday 11/20/01 after a struggle with prostate cancer that moved to the bone marrow. Bob could build or fix practically anything - his kids will always remember the treehouse he built in the cherry tree. He had a lifelong love-affair with the sea. He and two buddies made a trip to Ketchikan in the summer of '46 on a 19-foot sloop called the Miss B. Havin. He always said he wanted his ashes scattered on Stonefield Beach on the Oregon Coast. Bob became very interested in genealogy in the last 20 years and made many trips around the country searching out relatives, starting on Manitoulin Island in Ontario where his grandfather settled after coming over from Ireland during the potato famine, and progressing to Hannah, North Dakota, which was named after his family. He was the beloved husband of Jeanne, married 49 years last September, who will always remember his red hair. He is survived by his daughter Karel, a contract administrator for a St Paul construction company, his son Eric, a tile-setter, and his grandson Christopher. A memorial service will be held at University Congregational Church, 4515-16th Ave. N.E., Seattle, on Sunday 11/25/01 at 2:00 p.m. The family requests that memorials be sent to The American Cancer Society.

In 1950, Jim married Frances Adelia Owen, also of Seattle, and also a teacher. They had met teaching, and shared a common interest in the outdoors, Frances especially active in The Mountaineers club. Together, they raised a family of three boys and remained married and active until Frances' death in 1995. Jim cherished the continuing retired "teaching gang" breakfast and lunch meetings and the deep friendships maintained over many years. A dedicated railroad buff, Jim spent many hours collecting photographs and memorabilia, building and maintaining model railroads. He greatly enjoyed the time that he spent with his railroading clubs and the friendships that grew from his favorite hobby. Music, especially church organs was another life-long source of pleasure for Jim.
