Robert Hansen, Jr.
Robert F. Hansen, Jr., age 63, of Shelton, entered into rest on May 28, 2025. He was the husband of 36 years to Brenda (DiSapio) Hansen and the beloved father of Nicole, Kendall, and Tyler Hansen.
Bobby was born in Stamford on March 8, 1962, the son of Robert Sr. and Nancy (Harrington) Hansen, and grew up in Greenwich. He attended Dundee School, Eastern Junior High School, and St. Mary’s High School (Class of 1980). He was a devoted and unwavering Dallas Cowboys fan for his entire life. Bobby proudly served in the United States Marine Corps as a Radio Communications Operator, Rifle Sharpshooter, and Pistol Sharpshooter. He was honorably discharged as a Corporal in the 1st Battalion, 12th Marines, stationed in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii.
In 1987, he followed in his father’s footsteps and became a police officer for the Greenwich Police Department. He was a certified EMT, a member of the Special Response Unit, an FBI-Certified Sniper/Observer, an Emergency Medical Dispatcher, and a member of the Scuba Team. After his retirement in 2016, he continued serving Greenwich as a Special Police Officer while also working security for the Belle Haven Land Company in Greenwich.
Bobby served the youth of Greenwich and Shelton as a dedicated volunteer coach. He coached the Greenwich Jr. Babe Ruth Baseball (Police) team, the Glenville Mavericks Football team, the Shelton National Little League Softball team, the Shelton Flag Football team, the Shelton Pop Warner teams, and the Xtreme Chaos Fastpitch Softball team.
In addition to his parents, Bobby is survived by his brother, Thomas Hansen, and his in-laws: Diane Warzoha; Denise and Michael Grabarz; Albert DiBella; and Jennifer Hansen. He was the fun uncle—and master of sand digging operations—to Matthew, Kristyn, Connor, Stephen, Daniel (Kathryn), Meghan, Christopher (Sydney), Zachary, Anthony, Gavin, and Layla. He was predeceased by Alfred and Shirley DiSapio, Dan Warzoha, Laura DiBella, and Christine Hansen.
Bobby’s kindness, humor, and unwavering love for his family and community left a lasting impact on everyone he met. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing and loving him. Semper Fi #22.
