Robert E. Hassard

April 21, 1935 - January 25, 2021

Robert E. Hassard, 85, of Benicia passed away Monday at his home. He was born in Jersey City, New Jersey and has called Benicia his home since 1983. He was a technical trainer, R&D engineer and director of technical services for 37 years with Fresenius Medical Care, training on and developing hemodialysis equipment. He loved watching the 49ers with his son, and was an avid 49ers memorabilia collector. Bob even had the opportunity to play a round of golf with Joe Montana, a moment which he never would forget. He also loved traveling to his condo in Maui, listening to Big Band music, marching bands, and Hawaiian music. He especially loved the Jersey Boys who were from his home town. He enjoyed walking, and later riding, his scooter along the Benicia Marina and driving his pride and joy, a 2009 convertible BMW. Robert is survived by his wife Toni, his son Anthony and his spouse Esther, his brother Leroy and his spouse Catherine, and his grandchildren Dylan & Amanda. His pride for them was always evident in his big smile when he saw them. At Bob’s request, there will be no public services arranged. Private services will be held in the family’s home at a later date. In lieu of flowers or other gifts, please consider donating to the ASPCA, as Bob was a devoted animal lover.
