Robert Michael Hanlon, Sr. of Oakhurst, New Jersey died
on December 22, 2021, surrounded by his loving family. He
was the sixth child of William Frances Hanlon and Mae
McKinnon Hanlon. He was raised in Interlaken, New Jersey,
where he attended Holy Spirit Elementary School. He was a
1958 graduate of St. Peter’s Prep in Jersey City. From
there, he attended the University of Notre Dame in an
accelerated BA/Law School program, graduating law school in
1964.
 Bob met his wife, Kathleen Frances Carr, when the two were
thirteen years old, and they have been devoted to one
another ever since. They were married on December 27, 1961.
Bob and Kathie raised four children, first in Wall Township,
NJ and later in West Long Branch, NJ.
Bob began his legal career in the firm started by his
father, Hanlon, Argeris and Amdur in Asbury Park, NJ. He
grew the practice into a successful product liability and
defense boutique firm, last known as Hanlon, Boglioli and
Hanlon. In 2009 the firm joined Goldberg Segalla, where Bob
practiced as a partner until his retirement in 2020. Bob was
an accomplished and well-respected trial attorney,
continuing to try cases well into his 70’s.
 He was an avid golfer, and past president of Deal Golf and
Country Club in Deal, NJ. He enjoyed skiing and fishing.
Later in life, he and Kathie traveled extensively.
Bob’s greatest love was for his family. When the children
were young, the family took up skiing, spending nearly every
winter weekend (and some school days) in Windham, New York.
As the family grew, he and Kathie purchased a home in the
Orlando area, where the children and grandchildren enjoyed
many holidays, playing golf and visiting Disney World. The
family home was always open to their children’s many
friends, for sleepovers, pool parties and family
celebrations. He put all four of his children through
college, and two of them through law school.
Bob and Kathie attended their grandchildren’s countless ball
games, swim meets, concerts, plays, recitals, track meets
and scouting events, traveling all over the state and
country to cheer them on. They went to every graduation, and
frequently traveled to visit them at their respective
colleges.
Bob is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Kathleen
Frances Carr Hanlon, as well as four children and their
spouses: Bonnie Hanlon and her husband Richard Grossman of
Asbury Park, Kerry Kennedy and her husband Norman of
Manchester, Robert Hanlon and his wife Christine Giordano
Hanlon of Wayside, and Bridget Cook and her husband Robert
of Point Pleasant. He was an adoring PopPop to thirteen
grandchildren: Norman Kennedy, Jr. and his wife, Daniella
Cioffi, Edward Kennedy, Trevor and Helen Grossman, Nicholas,
Grace, Holly and Kaitlyn Hanlon, and Kathryn, James, Mary
and Sara Cook, and great-grandfather to Lucas Kennedy. He
also leaves behind his youngest brother, Michael Hanlon, and
his sister-in-law, Sally Welch, as well as many nieces,
nephews and friends.
