Robert Carl Eisinger

December 6, 1936 – September 6, 2025

Robert "Bobby" Carl Eisinger, 88, of Howell, Michigan, passed away peacefully surrounded by family.

He was born December 6, 1936, in Kinde, Michigan. On October 18, 1958, he married Donna Errer, who preceded him in death in February 2017.

Bob is survived by his daughters, Leann Lambert and Pamela (Bill) Bustard; grandchildren Kiersten (Devin) Wessel, Jordan (Naomi) Lambert, Joshua (Victoria) Bustard, and Brandon (Lexie) Bustard; and great-grandchildren Abigail and Wesley Bustard, and Lennon Bustard.

In his later years, Bob found meaningful companionship with Grace Newell of Bad Axe. Their friendship brought comfort, laughter, and joy to the both of them.

Bob was dearly loved by his family, who will remember him as a loving father and grandfather who lived each day to the fullest. He was known for his upbeat spirit, often declaring every meal and everyday as "the best ever".

Bob had a love for gardening, and he found great joy in sharing roses from his garden with neighbors and friends. He was also an avid orchid grower. A dedicated coach, he poured countless hours into mentoring young athletes through little league baseball and softball as well as basketball. He was also passionate about golf and took pride in coaching his grandchildren, always crediting himself with making them great. His faith in the Lord guided his life-he loved studying the word and was always eager to grow in his knowledge of God.

Bob enjoyed his winters in sunny Florida at Saddlebag Lake Resort in Lake Wales. Above all, Bob cherished his family, and his family cherished him and time spent with him. He will be dearly missed, but his loved ones rejoice knowing he is reunited with his beloved wife, Donna, and trust in the promise that they will see him again one day. His legacy of love, gratitude, optimism, and faith will carry on through all who knew him.

Family will be holding graveside services in the spring in Pigeon, Michigan.
