Dunkin Donuts lost a loyal customer January 24, 2018.
Robert "Bob" M. Einhaus 84, of Lawrenceville, Georgia and originally from Quincy, passed from complications from a fall. He is proceeded in death by his wife and soulmate Evelyn Joyce Chamberlain. They were married 58 years and as far as we can tell they still are. Together they had 3 children Debbi Ross, Bobby and Mike Einhaus. Two grandsons Corey and Cody Alger. Six great grandchildren Alic Alger, Shelby Norton, Joseph Alger, Caden Alger, Noah Alger, and Logan Alger. Three great-great-grandchildren Cooper and Reese Alger and Remington Norton. He was proceeded in death by his parents Robert "Bob" A. and Betty F. Einhaus and his brother Edward "Eddy" P. Einhaus.
Bob never met a joke he could tell completely, probably due to the fact that he would start laughing before he got to the punch line. If you knew him at all, you would know him to be quick with a smile and a laugh. In fact, he could find laughter in every situation. Just try being one of his kids and smash your thumb with a hammer, he would let you know that he would gladly hit your other thumb for you so you would forget about the pain in the original one.
Bob was a long-time business owner in Quincy. He and his brother ran the family business, Einhaus Signs, for many years after their father passed. They closed down in 1983 after being in business for around a hundred years. Bob and Evelyn moved to Atlanta Georgia where he worked as a fulltime neon tube bender alongside both of his sons. He excelled at his craft and his work could be seen at the Atlanta Airport, Coca-Cola Headquarters, QuikTrips (gas stations), Applebee's, Zaxby's and numerous Harley-Davidson clocks to name a few.
Bob enjoyed "letting" Evelyn beat him in golf (that is what he wanted everyone to believe anyway). They often played as much as was humanly possible and were fortunate enough to attend The Masters Golf Tournament close to their home in Augusta, Georgia many times. They also served as Marshalls at The BellSouth Classic and many other professional tournaments in and around Atlanta.
Bob was a veteran, he served in the Army during the Korean War and was stationed in Korea where he played the French Horn and Trumpet. He was the first recipient to receive the Morrison Award for music at Quincy Senior High.
SERVICES: 10:30 a.m. Monday, Jan. 29, at the First Christian Church in Pittsfield. Interment following service will be at Nebo Cemetery. There will be a luncheon gathering for family and friends at the church following interment.
