Richard John Hannon

Richard was born September 3, 1947 to Elmer and Millie Hannon in Green Bay, WI. He graduated from Abbott Pennings High School in 1965.

Richard was the proud owner of Hobart Mobile Home Park in Green Bay. He began his career working alongside his father and brother at Northeastern Mobile Homes and remained in the industry until his retirement.

One of his favorite places was the family cottage on Kelly Lake where he spent his childhood summers, hit many deer, enjoyed cocktail cruises on the pontoon and late-night bonfires with family and friends. He was a lover of bowling, golf and vodka. Richard loved to fish anywhere, but his favorite places were at Kelly Lake and on his trips to Canada with his lifelong buddies, Dave, Gil, Dennis and Dick.

Richard was a proud stockholder and season ticket holder of the Green Bay Packers. He was lucky enough to attend the Ice Bowl in 1967 and cheered his team on to victory in all 4 Super Bowl wins.

He moved to North Carolina in 2013 into the Longleaf community where he found a new family of friends and the love of his life, Cheryl, with whom he spent his last years.
