RIP Bob Hanneman
Dec. 16th, 2023 07:11 pmBob Hanneman, owner of the Hanneman Service towing and propane, passed away a few days ago after a battle with colon cancer. He was 64, but looked at least ten years younger. Bob was one of the first people we met in Fernley, interacting with him and his business due to breaking down on our way to Fernley to have a look at property there, especially the house that we eventually ended up buying.
This morning, North Lyon County Fire Station 61 moved its equipment outside and opened its doors for a memorial service for Bob.
( A Life Remembered )
We stayed for an hour, but being the only masked people in a crowd of unmasked people, and with her not having much sleep last night, Lisa was very uncomfortable. (The metal folding chairs were uncomfortable, too.) So we made our way out when they started a slide show about Bob's life and before the reception afterwards, making our way home.
Bob was a fine person, and always interested in our stories of our travels. We used his AAA services four times (including the first visit I mentioned above), and his shop is where we buy our propane. When he went into the hospital for the cancer, we feared the worst, and unfortunately the fears were justified. He was a fine person, and one of only few friends we had here in Fernley. We will miss him, and it's clear than hundreds of people in our small town will as well. Fernley is diminished by his passing.
