Robert "Bob" Hatfield

Robert "Bob" Wesley Hatfield, of West Chester, Ohio, was born on November 21, 1946 in Cincinnati, Ohio, a son to Dorathy (Wullenweber) Hatfield and James Otis Hatfield. Bob was drafted to the US Army in 1966 and served honorably during the Vietnam War. Upon returning from service, Bob used his GI Bill to attend the University of Cincinnati, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in accounting. Bob traversed the business world and eventually became the operations manager of a large distribution network that required him to travel all over the United States. In 1987 Bob switched professions and became a systems analyst, affording him the ability to concentrate on raising his three young boys. Bob’s passion was his boys, and he dedicated all his time and energy to providing them with the best opportunities while being a single parent. In the year 2000 Bob married the love of his life, Michele, and expanded his family with four stepchildren. Bob and Michele’s partnership successfully raised seven children, five of which have post graduate degrees. Continuing his life filled with love and laughter Bob retired to his condo in Florida where he maintained an active lifestyle with a group of close-knit friends. Bob passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, November 1, 2020, while at his condo in Florida. Bob’s innate ability to strike up a conversation, sense of humor, laughter, and passion for life will be sorely missed.
