Bob Hemling

Bob Hemling, age 91, of Oliver Beach, Maryland, passed away on February 28, 2025. Born in North Brunswick, New Jersey, he was the son of William Henry Hemling and Cecelia Barbara (Filliaux) Hemling and the beloved husband of the late Patricia Ann (Bowlin) Hemling.

Family and faith were at the core of Bob’s life. A proud Catholic, he lived his life with kindness, generosity, and an unwavering commitment to his loved ones. He met his beloved Pat when they were young, and together they built a beautiful life, marrying on July 1, 1961. He attended Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church routinely with Pat, instilling in his children a deep love of faith and the importance of being a good person.

Bob was a hardworking and dedicated automotive mechanic, spending countless hours in the garage. He had a keen eye for finding value in the unexpected, often “treasure hunting” in junkyards and repurposing his finds. Most mornings, his wife would make him breakfast before he headed to the garage, where he was happiest working with his hands. His strong mentality and resourcefulness were defining traits, and he was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.

Above all, Bob cherished time with his family. He created lasting memories through summer vacations to Ocean City and countless family trips and activities. He always saw the best in people, and his legacy of love, faith, and generosity will live on through his family.

Bob is survived by his three sons, , Robert Hemling, Marc (Becky) Hemling and Brian (Kim) Hemling; his daughter, Patty (Sean) Jackson; grandchildren, Marc Hemling, Phillip Hemling, Sean Jackson, Katelyn Hemling, Jenna Sanzone, Sarah Jackson, Savannah Hemling, Melanie Eiler, Curtis Jackson, and Lauren Hemling; great-grandchildren, Oliver Hemling, Theodore Hemling, Amelia Eiler, Emma Hemling, Isaac Hemling, Jax Sanzone, Brooks Sanzone, Camryn Hemling, and Connor Hemling; and his brother-in-law, Roy Bowlin.

In addition to his parents and wife, Bob was preceded in death by his beloved daughter, Marie Cecelia Hemling.
