Bob Hannon: 1950-2003
On April 24th 53-year-old long-time Beaver Island summer resident
Bob Hannon checked into the hospital for what seemed like a minor
complaint. Eight hours later he was pronounced dead. He was known
as a warm-hearted educator from Arlington Heights who enjoyed
hosting gatherings at his Font Lake Home. He taught at John Hershey
High School for over thirty years, where he received numerous
awards: the Illinois Board of Education's Those Who Excel Merit
Award, Arlington Heights' 2003 Educator Heart of Gold award, and
a Principal Award.
Bob was brought to Beaver Island for a memorial mass on April
27th, officiated by Father Pat Cawley. He was preceded in death
by his parents John and Rose Hannon, and is survived by brothers
William (Janice), James (Nancy), and John, and sisters Janet (Patrick)
O'Callahan and Mary Beth (Michael) Lyons.
