Robert Hoijer

On a bright and sunny October day, Robert Hoijer was fishing. He threw out his line, felt a tug on his arm, and it was his Heavenly Father – it’s time to join your mother and sister. It was Wednesday, October 12, 2022 and Bob was 90.

Robert Hoijer was born in Cambridge on September 14, 1932. He served in the US Army as a Private First Class during the Korean War. He was a longtime, hard-working employee of Harvard University and a resident of Wakefield.
