Robert Eustis Obituary

Bob and Mary Jo have seven grandchildren: Ashley Jane Eustis, Taylor Jane Kelley, Jordan Alexandra Smith, Sean Padraic Eustis, Rebecca Frances Smith, Meryn Grace Curtis and Lyvia Hope Curtis.

Bob Eustis was wonderful. It was always a joy to be around him. I will forever remember his booming voice and hearty laugh. To hear one of his stories was always a treat and I hung on every word. Bob, everyone who knew you, loved you and the world will never be the same without you on so many different levels. Rest in peace my friend. To all of Bob's family and close friends, you have my deepest condolences.

I knew Bob as an Educator, a Community man and a devote Church man. He was a Senior Warden at the St. Anne's Episcopal Church, in Stockton and a member of several Church Committees. The Sunday School children loved to hear his wide repertoire of stories.

Bob was a truly amazing man. As a brother-in-law, he was the best. His wisdom never failed to amaze me and he was always there when needed - and most imprtant, he loved my sister beyond words!

I knew Bob as an educator and community activist in Lodi when I covered Lodi as a reporter for the Stockton Record. He was a gentleman and a scholar and we shared many views and happy times. Condolences to his family.
