Robert E. Eddy
August 13, 1952 — January 31, 2020
Robert E. "Bobby" Eddy, age 67 of Akron passed away on Friday, January 31, 2020. He was born on August 13, 1952, the son of Earl F. and Bertha J. {Metts} Eddy.
Bob was preceded in death by his parents, brother Thomas Eddy, sister Betty Gearhart, and brothers-in-law Edward Reeder and Robert Gearhart.
He is survived by his love of 9 years, Rita; children Brenda (David) Cronk, Melissa (Tony) Collier, Cheryl Smith, Michelle (Chris) Spencer; step-children Pamela (Jeff) Harrison and Vince (Erin) Bahil; 6 grandchildren; 3 step-grandchildren; 4 great-grandchildren; sisters Shirley (Bob) Dowdy and Barbara Reeder; many nieces and nephews; best friend and "brother" Kenneth (Joyce) Miller.
Bob was a 1970 graduate of Marietta High School, and was a friend of the VFW "Breakfast Bunch" in Marietta, Ohio. He retired in 2016 from Super Sports in Georgia, and was a proud veteran of the United States Navy.
Per Bob's wishes, cremation has taken place, and military honors will take place at Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery, upon Rita's passing. His care has been entrusted to Newcomer, Akron Chapel, 131 N. Canton Rd., Akron, 44305.
"Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I, and you are you; whatever we were to each other, that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name; speak to me in the easy way you always used. Put no difference into your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow, laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Life means all that it ever meant- I am but waiting for you, for an interval, just around the corner. All is well." -H. Scott Holland
