Bob and I were brought together under the most skillful supervision of Mr. Robert Glenn at the Huber Company in the mid 80’s.  Always leading with his humility and concern for the goals at hand, Bob’s recommendations were always supported by his wealth of experience and personal integrity.  He lived his faith and was quick to give credit to the Grace by which he was blessed.  RDH will be missed. May our Heavenly Father cover the family with understanding during this time of separation and the assurance of a future reunion joy.

I don’t think anyone worked harder than Bob to help me find a new job when I got rif’d after all those years of service. And I never even work for him. It’s just what he did. I’ll always remember his laugh, his joy, his kindness and his inclusivity (before that was even a word). Bob enjoyed his life and we enjoyed him. Thanks Bob. 

Bob was always a gracious and conscientious gentleman. His dedicated commitment as a volunteer at First Presbyterian was done with a positive spirit that affirmed everyone he encountered.
I pray for a “peace that passes all understanding” for all his family and friends.
Rev Bill Heston 


To say I am totally and completely saddened to hear of Bob’s passing, I have to reflect on his contribution to my career. I first met Bob in about 1977 as a very young salesman trying to find a willing customer in the maze of the Houston oilfield. He took me on as a young kid trying to make a name for himself in a world of experienced and “skilled” oilfield peddlers trying to get a rental job from the drilling manager at J. M. Huber Corp. I always held the utmost respect for Bob as he never compromised his values. He expected quality at a fair price, nothing else. Later, when I was so fortunate to be elected to the Board of Directors of the API Houston Chapter, I grew to respect Bob even more as he was always lazer focused on making sure that the funds of API were not only accounted for, but shared as advertised. One of my fondest memories of Bob is him counting the receipts from API Golf tournaments…making sure that every nickel was counted correctly. Last week, while attending the annual API sporting clays event, I missed Bob’s smiling face making sure every participant had his membership current. I shall miss my friend. Godspeed Bob Hanley.

Bob was a wonderful and kind man.  I will miss him more than words can say.  We met each other 25 years ago through API and he stood by my side through many ups and downs.  He would tell me everything is going to be okay, sweetheart.  He would always ask about my family members and send me articles about various things pertaining to something going on in one of my family member's lives.  He just really cared about his family and friends!  The picture above is us in our normal place month after month at the Petroleum Club checking people in at the API luncheon.  I hand out the nametags and Bob would take the walk-ups with the credit card machine.  For 40+ years, Bob worked tirelessly on behalf of API by volunteering at every event to raise funds for scholarships, MD Anderson Cancer Center, the HISD High School for Engineering Professions, The Offshore Energy Center and many more worthwhile causes.  He always had a lot of stories to tell me about the times before I was around.  As he got older and slowed down, I would pick him up to take him to each event.  It was nice that it gave us more time to talk and for him to share his stories!  When I would drop him off, he would always say - well we did it One More Time.  I never wanted to think there would not be another time.  We were supposed to be together again tomorrow giving away some donation checks, and he was very excited about the funds being donated this year.  I wish he could be there - just this One More Time.   I am heartbroken, but so thankful God placed Bob in my life.  He taught me a lot of things and he supported me through a lot of life changes. Peggy, Bill, Kim, Kaitlyn and Cameron - my prayers are with your family.   Bob, I will miss you, my friend!

Bob was a relentless worker on the API Board  & always volunteered to help on API sponsored events. His wisdom will be greatly missed & heart felt condolences to Peggy & Bill. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
