Robert Harrison Doran

Robert H. “Bob” Doran passed away peacefully on May 31, 2025, at his home on Hilton Head Island, SC.  A husband, father, grandfather & great-grandfather, Bob is survived by his wife and best friend, Phyllis Facterman, three children, Robin Doran Deering (Brian), Lindsay Doran Benton (Steve) and Andrew Windsor Doran (Heather), two stepchildren, Steven Facterman (Cindy) and Sandra Facterman McDonnell (FJ).  He is also survived by two granddaughters, Ilyse & Erin, two grandsons, Drew & Ryan, two step-granddaughters, Katie & Zoe, one step-grandson, Sean, one great-grandson, Jackson, and his beloved canine companions, Charlie and Max.

Born and raised in Baltimore, MD, Bob served in the US Marine Corps.  Following that, he earned a BS in Electrical Engineering from The University of Maryland and an MSEE from The George Washington University.  Bob and his family lived in Northern Virginia while working in the Intelligence Community for most of his career.  An athlete in his youth, Bob coached basketball, travel soccer and was an avid golfer.  “In the heat of battle, he wove a tapestry of obscenity that, as far as we know, is still hanging in space over the Potomac River.”  After retiring, Bob and Phyllis settled permanently in Hilton Head.  Bob loved traveling the world with good friends and family.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Hilton Head Humane Society.
