Patrick (Bob) Hannan

I extend my deepest condolences to the Hannan family upon the passing of Bob after his extended illness. His tragic loss is a sad blow to all who knew him in Dun Laoghaire and who admired his work in the local vicinity. Many people who use the buildings that he helped design will feel the benefit of his wonderful efforts in the local area. I shall always remember him whenever using or passing the new baths on Dun Laoghaire seafront.

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to the Hannan family on the passing of Bob, He was a valued work collegue and friend during my time with DLR Co.Co. He will be sadly missed.

I only learned this week of the sad passing of Bob . RIP, . I was truly shocked. I worked with Bob in the formative years of HKR Architects. Bob was a wonderful human being and a very talented designer. he contributed hugely to the practice. and delivered some exceptional buildings.
I can only pass on my deepest condolences to his mother sisters and extended family. Ar dheis de go raibh a ainm Dhilis.

Martha, I am so terribly sorry for the loss of your lovely sweet Bob, you two had something very special together. You have been amazing to him over these past few months, and he knew that, stay strong honey. My deepest condolences to you, his beautiful son Demetrios, Johanna, his mother, sisters and all who knew him. Rest in peace dearest Bob xxx

Bob had such talent and passion and was always a joy to work with. Dun Laoghaire was fortunate to have his services. He'll be sadly missed

Moyna, sincere condolences on the loss of your brother. Thinking of you, your mother, sister and all your family at this terribly sad time. May he rest in peace.

My condolences to all Bob's family.
Bob, my old friend, I miss you.

I am very saddened to hear this very sad news. A fellow Architect, I really admired and was inspired by the work he was involved with. Wish to pass on my sincere condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

I am terribly saddened to hear of Bob's death. My heart goes out to all his family and friends. Bob was a great and imaginative colleague, someone I enjoyed working with. May he rest in peace.

Truly saddened to hear of Bob's passing. May he rest in peace. My deepest condolences to all his family.

Sincerest condolences to my dear friend Martha, Johanna, his adored son Demetrios and Bobs family. We were lucky enough to be Bobs neighbours on his time spent in Dublin 8 with Martha. I would hope when I turned the corner to come home each evening that I would see him outside Martha's house on the bench in the little garden he cultivated with Martha and Johanna. We will miss him. Rest easy lovely Bob, it was a pleasure to know you.

Deepest sympathies to all the Hannan family, Demetrios and Maria on the passing of Bob.

Dear Bob was a lovely man, I often enjoyed a chat with him at the school gate, or about the town. I'm sure he will be greatly missed by all he knew.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh an anam dílis.

I am so deeply saddened to hear of Bob's passing. He was one of the world's true gents, with a kind soul ànd smile. He will be so missed. My thoughts are with all his family and friends at this time.

Very sad to hear of Bob's untimely passing. A gentleman to his fingertips. Deepest Condolence to all his family & friends.

I was very sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. Every time I pass the Baths I can’t help thinking about him, and his contribution to Dun Laoghaire. His is a legacy that will endure, and I hope his good work will be carried on by his colleagues in DLRCC. He has left us far too soon.

My condolences to his family and friends.

My deepest condolences to Bob’s beloved son, Demetrios, his mother and sisters - and to the wonderful extended family he found so much joy with in Martha and Johanna. A beautiful life cut short far too soon. I would have loved the chance to meet him. May he rest peacefully now, and may the memory of the love you shared bring some comfort in the midst of this terrible loss.

I am sad that I never knew Bob though I worked in DLR CoCo for aeons. I do remember him on his bike with his curly hair and have observed the transformation his designs have made of the Dun Laoghaire Seafront and elsewhere.

It would seem fitting that in time, a memorial plaque be placed with an inscription similar to Christopher Wren's in St Pauls - 'Reader, if you seek his memorial, look around you.'

Sincere sympathy to Bob's loved ones. He is strolling among the olive groves of heaven for sure.

I was saddened to hear that Bob has left us.

I was a clerk in the Planning Department for a good few years. Our paths crossed occasionally; both through work and socialising.

He had no hesitancy about holding forth on matters Architectural to pen-pushing me! Passionate but gentle.

My late Father was a brilliant Carpenter. He was always proud that his own skills - though largely hidden - lived on through the many homes that he worked on; particularly those with awkward roof designs for which he was much in demand.

Bob's legacy is much more visible.

It's been a long time since we met. But I never forgot him.

May he rest in peace.

Larry Dunne. Ex-DLR.

Deepest Condolences to my dear little sister Martha, Johanna, Demetrios and Bobs extended family.

Martha I knew after your second date with Bob, when he brought you a Lidl soup carton, containing plums from his garden and mermaid illustration on the lid that you had met the love of your life .

I watched you blossom as he loved and cared for you with his unique creative and gentle love .

And then the New Year brought the dreaded news.

You never left his side and returned that care for Bob through the darkest of times. Your love for each other only intensifying despite the unrelenting challenges of MND, or The Comet,
as you both referred to it.

Bob bore and accepted his illness
with calm dignity .
In his own words not
Why me ?
But…
Why now .

You can rest easy now Bob .
You shall be missed greatly .

Martha my heart goes out to you. You and Bob shared such a very special love. My deepest condolences to you and all the Hannan family.

Deeply saddened to learn of Bob's passing - his inspiring and life enhancing legacy and memories of his warm presence will long endure.
Sincere condolences to his family, colleagues and friends.

Peter Hynes

My heart is broken for you, dear Martha, on losing your beloved Bob.
You have stood loyally by his side throughout the past year, caring for him and helping through this very difficult time.
As he said so many times, you were the love of his life.
Sincere condolences to his family, especially his son Demetrios and to Johanna, who was like a daughter to him.
Rest peacefully, Bob.

Deepest sympathy to you Moyna your mum, Oisine and the extended Hannan family on the death of Bob. Will keep you in my thoughts at this very sad and difficult time.

So very sorry to hear of Bob's death. A hero of mine and a gentleman, he leaves an outstanding architectural and cultural legacy. Sincere condolences to his family, his friends and his colleagues.

Bob's legacy can be seen in the seafront of Dun Laoghaire which will delight generations to come. A very sad loss.
Our condolences to his family and loved ones.

My sincere condolences to Bob's family, friends, and colleagues. Bob became a good friend to our brother, Brian, during their work on the Dun Laoghaire Baths. Brian often spoke fondly of Bob before he passed away this time last year. Rest in Peace.

To Demetrios & all of Bob's family & loved ones: so sorry & shocked to hear about Bob's passing. May he rest in peace and may you all find the strength you need at this time - and anon.

Sincere condolences to Martha and all of Bob's family. He was such a lovely man to work with. May he rest in peace.

Rest in Peace Bob will miss you around the town. Noel

Deeply saddened by the untimely passing of Bob. Thoughts and prayers are with his dearest “wildflower” Martha, Johanna and all of Bob’s family. Was an honour getting to know him in recent years. May he Rest in Peace.

It was such sad news to learn that Bob had died. I was very glad to join the hundreds of people who packed Dalkey's Catholic church for his funeral and to be able to express my condolences to members of his family, including his son Demetrios, and his partner Martha.

I recalled the last time we met on December 8th, 2022, which was also the first time I had seen Mark Richards' great statue of Roger Casement facing the shoreline. Marvelling at how wonderful it is, I asked Bob who had made it happen, and he said "I did!".

His inspired leadership in DLRCC on urban design and placemaking will be sorely missed. But every time I see the Casement statue, I will remember him.

Dear Moyna & Oisine,

My deepest sympathy on the loss of your brother Bob. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all the family at this very sad and lonely time.

Rest In Peace Bob. Love & Light. John, Orla, Heidi & Isabelle.

My Condolences to Bobs family on his sad passing. I worked with Bob many years ago and always enjoyed my time with him.
May he rest in peace.

My condolences to Bob’s family. I was in college with Bob in UCD architecture back in the late 80’s. A really nice guy, a passionate architect and he will be greatly missed. RIP Bob.

Thanks Bob for taking me on several tours of the baths site. You had a difficult brief and had to please a number of opposing factions. In your own words you had provided a “blank canvas”, a site ready to work on for future development. You were always an absolute gentleman, a visionary and a brilliant architect. I’m so sad we never got to have that glass of wine on the terrace overlooking the most beautiful view in Dublin to celebrate. My sincere condolences to all your family.

Our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Bob Hannan rest in peace Bob.

Deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Bob Hannan, and to our dear Martha & family. Our thoughts are with you all at this sad and difficult time.

So sad to hear of Bob passing. He was a lovely gentleman and I always enjoyed having a chat with him. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

I’ll always remember the last time a few weeks ago I was saying goodbye to him after a pleasant evening in my daughter Martha’s home . Bob and I held hands and just looked into each others eyes which spoke louder than words . Rest in Heavenly peace Dear Bob .

Sincere condolences to Demetrios & all Bob's family, friends & colleagues. We are so very sorry to hear of his untimely passing.
In addition to the legacy he has left in his work we remember Bob as a friendly, kind & hospitable neighbour with many interesting stories. Cycling up & down the Ave & around the neighbourhood, always with a smile.

I was deeply saddened to learn the tragic news of Bob's passing. I extend my deepest sympathy to his mother Moyna Snr, Moyna, Oisine, Demetrios and Martha. Bob's many valuable contributions to our county infrastucture will be living memorials to his renowned architectural and planning talents.
I knew Bob, Mark and John from our many happy days in the Sea Scouts and Venture Scouts. May they all now Rest in Peace, together once more.

Dearest Bob
I remember the first day I met you walking across the campus in your large black coat and umbrella !! A man for all seasons !
I walked down by the Dun Laoghaire Baths this morning thinking of your attention to detail and all your design skills but mostly remembering all the laughter , the fun and careful reflection on life !!!
You will be sorely missed but always remembered as you loved your best life !
Lots of love Róisín
