Theodore Robert Hane

He attended all Catholic schools through High School, and as a teen developed

his love of cars.

A little-known fact is that he built and raced his own stock cars in the Chicagoland

area for many years. He met Bonnie (at Sycamore Raceway) in 1964 and

married in 1968.He started working for General Motors (MIC-insurance division)

in 1966 and to appease his love of California, was able to transfer there in 1969

as an insurance adjuster, later as Claims Supervisor. He accepted an early

retirement in 1990 (due to office closing and not wanting to move to Texas). He then

worked per diem for GM at San Pedro Shipyards to inspect shiploads of cars from

Hawaii rentals to send off all over the county for sale. After a few years, he then worked

with local car dealers sales-- not sure when he finally stopped, and worked

around the house and yard, became a professional pool floater, and would meet

up with some friends for happy hour.He enjoyed traveling (recently AZ and cruising),

but his third love was Mexico.

We went all over the country, at least once a year since 1970, and finally bought

a house in Cabo San Lucas, and had many friends there.He belonged to the

Canoga Park Elks Lodge and enjoyed many dinners, festivities and functions over the

years, and also visited with friends at the DAV and VFW (and more).

He leaves behind his wife Bonnie of 48 years, a brother and 2 sisters, 9 nieces and

nephews, and 9-great-nieces and great-nephews.

He was a quiet Man and will be missed by many.
