Robert EASLEY Obituary
Bob was born April 10, 1938, to John Easley and Esther Schwartz Easley in Lincoln, Neb. After graduating from El Cerrito High School in El Cerrito, Calif., Bob enlisted in the United States Air Force in 1956. He served his country with honor for the next 27 years and retired as a Chief Master Sergeant. Bob was a Veteran of the Vietnam War. His decorations included the Air Force Meritorious Service Medal and the Air Force Commendation Medal. In addition to numerous Technical and Professional Military Education Courses, Bob earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Professional Aeronautics from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in 1983. Upon retirement from the Air Force, he worked civil service at Langley AFB as a member of the Air Force Engineering & Technical Services (AFETS).
Throughout his life, Bob dedicated his time to serving others. From refereeing football leagues to selling brooms with the Lions Club to leading Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, Bob was always there to lend a hand.

Poppy, I love you so much. I will always remember all those good times: being picked up from school, making innumerable trips to Cosco,Kroger, and of course, Movie Stop. You never ceased to amaze Ma with every addition to your collection! I loved going out to eat but your kitchen was the home spot. All the T.v dinners, daytime soaps, movie nights, and stories were so much fun. I'll miss your hugs and kisses. I'll miss you but I will also see you very soon, all of us will.
Love, Rachel
