Robert Einhaus Obituary
October 12, 1938 - October 5, 2025
AUBURN, Washington - Robert W. Einhaus Jr. passed away at the age of 86. Born in Tacoma, he graduated from Lincoln High School in 1957. He joined the Air Force and gained an electronics background which prepared him for a position at Boeing. Followed then by a career installing phone systems for Pacific NW Bell and AT&T. With wife Bonnie, he designed and built their Auburn home with a perfectionist eye for detail. A dedicated family man survived by 4 children, Alan, Mike, Teresa, Kerri; and 5 grandchildren, Damian, Cassie, Alex, Chevelle, and Brandon. He took great joy in getting together for dinners and to celebrate milestones. He was generous, always willing to drop what he was doing to help with a ride or lend a hand with a project. Bob loved swap meets and garage sales. Bob was an avid aviation enthusiast who meticulously built, flew, and collected model airplanes. He was a member of the Academy of Model Aeronautics and Model Engine Collectors Assoc. He was preceded in death by his parents, foster parents, wife, and many beloved cats. In lieu of flowers donations are accepted at the Auburn Valley Humane Society.

I first met Bob about 28 years ago in a hobby shop. I had taken an engine to the hobby shop one rainy Sunday for identification, since there were no markings on it. He gave me his name, an I said "gee, I know a Bob Einhaus." It turned out that his step mother played the organ at my wedding in Olympia in August, 1972 and I had met his father and step mother at that time. They were very good friends with my in-laws. Bob and I shared a passion for model airplanes and all things aviation. It was also the start of a wonderful 28 year friendship. He will certainly be missed.
