Robert Stannard
Obituary
On September 21, 2022, Robert "Bob" Stannard, aged 92, passed away peacefully in Morgan Hill.
Bob and his beloved wife, Mary Lou, called many places home, from his time stationed in Japan, to the suburbs of Sacramento, and the hills of Morgan Hill and San Martin.
Bob worked in the field of education, culminating in his role as superintendent of the Morgan Hill School District from 1975 to 1988.
Bob's three big loves were travel, gardening, and family. His passion for travel led him to 49 of the 50 US states and six of the seven continents. A Master Gardener himself, Bob spent countless hours at his San Martin home, planning, planting, and enjoying his land. Throughout it all, Bob's family, his grandchildren, and his great-grandchildren, were always the source of his happiness.
Bob, Dad, Papa, Grandpa Bob – however you knew him best – the great man will be truly missed among his family and the loved ones he's left behind. The family will be holding a private Celebration of Life. In memory of Bob, please consider donating to your favorite charity.
