Bob is on the left. This picture was taken for the Crossroads Shopping Center newsletter in 2008. This is a copy of my Facebook post from yesterday (May 7th, 2024).
Deb and I are sad to announce the passing of my father-in-law Bob Hoagland. A father figure, business partner, and loving family member.
A native of Massachusetts, Bob and Lynn Hoagland moved here to the Seattle area after living in several towns on the East Coast. After a career in hotels and restaurants, he purchased three UPS Store franchises in Bellevue. He would eventually bring my wife and I into the ownership group where we enjoyed meeting and serving people in the area, making lifelong friends.
Bob enjoyed serving the community as a member of the Bellevue First Congregational Church, Rotary, and volunteering at the Puget Sound Blood Center and the Salvation Army Food Bank. He loved playing golf.
Bob was known as a hard worker and a devoted family man. He deeply loved his twin daughters, Debra Barer and Donna Hoagland Wagner his sons in law, two grandsons and grand dogs.
A celebration of life will be planned for next month (June 2024).
