KAUAI, HI­— It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Robert Paul Loggins, Jr., known to everyone as Bob, of Queensbury, NY, on October 22, 2024, at the age of 62. Born on March 10, 1962, to Bob and Carol Loggins in Oswego, NY, Bob was a devoted family man and a passionate school administrator dedicated to the success of students.

Bob found joy in traveling and exploring new places, usually accompanied by his wife, Karin, and their beloved dog, Terk. He grew up in Saratoga Springs NY, attended college in Oswego, and returned to the Capital Region and Saratoga/Lake George area to live and work.

He is survived by his loving wife, Karin Hazlitt, and his children: Ryan Loggins, married to Jill, their sons, Ben and Everett; Tyler Loggins; Ashley Loggins; Darian Smith; Shaun Hazlitt; Renee Scarinzi; and grandsons, Jonah and Casey. Bob’s family was central to his life, and he took immense pride in their successes.

bob is also survived by his father, Robert Loggins Sr.; his brother Brent, married to Evelyn, nephew Chase and niece Jenna; his sister Susan, married to Ray, nephews Michael and Brandon; sister-in-law Lynn and nephew Jon, married to Amanda and great nephews Grayson and Evan. Uncle Bob will also be deeply missed by Karin’s family: Barbara, Miriam, Jane, Peter, Karen, Gitte, Stan, Deirdre, and nieces and nephews Connor, Devin, Aidan, Ella, Patrick, James, Ava, Desi, and Theo.

Bob was predeceased by his first wife, Lori Loggins, loving mother to Ryan, Tyler, and Ashley; his mother, Carol Loggins; and his baby sister, Theresa. 

Known for his huge heart, positive attitude, and rich sense of humor, Bob was always ready for a new adventure and loved playing pranks on friends and his brother, mostly his brother, Brent. His favorite quotes, “Life is too short to not appreciate it” and “There must be a brewery close by, let’s check the GPS,” or “Where can we go for $1 Happy hour oysters?” reflected his joyful perspective on life. Bob, ever organized, loved planning and entertaining. His home was often filled with friends and family, and there was always another trip being planned.

When not at home, Bob could be found driving his dream Corvette on regional country roads, camping, boating, scuba diving, skiing, or visiting with friends and family across the country. His generosity extended to his community, where he was an active adaptive ski instructor at Double H Ranch and a member of the Adirondack Corvette Club. Bob made a lasting impact on everyone he met, always encouraging the success of others, especially children. His legacy of positivity and love will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
