Fund Development: Honor Roll of Donors, 2009 - Hartford Hospital!

Robert A. ‘Bubba’ Hollander
Robert A. “Bubba” Hollander, co-owner of Hartford
Distributors for 30 years, served Hartford Hospital as a
Corporator from 1998 to 2008. Along with other
members of the Hollander family, he was devoted to
many causes at the Hospital, particularly its Palliative
Care, Diabetes Lifecare and Transplant programs.
Their generous support, including a leadership gift
to the 150th Anniversary Campaign, helped build
awareness of the importance of organ and tissue
donations. Upon his
passing, the Hollander
family extended a special
thank you to Dr. David
Hull and his transplant
team at Hartford Hospital
and encouraged
donations in Bubba’s
memory to the Hospital’s
Transplant Program.
A favorite photo of ‘Bubba’ Hollander,
sent to us by his wife, Marcie.
Born in Norfolk, Va.,
he was a proud graduate
of the University of Virginia.
He had a passion for racquetball and golf and, at
one time, was the senior amateur racquetball champion
in the United States. All who knew him remember
Bubba as a unique, loving, generous, witty, and
charismatic friend.
Grace S. Webb
Last June’s graduation ceremony at the Institute
of Living’s schools that bear her name included fond
remembrances of Grace S. Webb, along with the
recognition of the remarkable achievements of the
schools’ graduates. Grace’s husband, William Logan
Webb, Jr., M.D., became Psychiatrist-in-Chief at the
Institute in 1985, and over the years she became
increasingly committed to helping children there,
particularly those in need of special education. In 1991,
the Institute recognized her contributions by dedicating
their special education program to her and renaming
it The Grace S. Webb School. The honor was later
extended to the opening of two satellite Webb Schools
in Cheshire and Bloomfield. “For many years, Grace
generated such good will and positive feelings for the
school and enhancements of our program,” said Harold
Schwartz, M.D., Vice President, Behavioral Health and
Psychiatrist-in-Chief at the Institute. “She rarely asked
for help, but always gave generously of her time and
energy to others.”
A scholarship fund
benefiting the schools
has been established
at Hartford Hospital
in Grace’s memory.
