Robert Eakin, 74, of Overland Park, KS passed away on May 24, 2010. He was born on September 26, 1935 in Washington, D.C. to Verda and Glen Eakin. He moved to Kansas City at the age of 9 and remained there for his entire life. After attending St. John’s military high school, Bob studied engineering at Colorado University and later Business Administration at Kansas City University. He spent most of his working life in sales and before retiring, worked for Ditto during the 60’s and Smith Miller & Patch during the 70’s, calling on ophthalmologists across Kansas and Missouri. Bob’s fine records of sales and service for Ditto and SMP earned him outstanding performances in sales with both companies. He enjoyed fishing and hunting with his boys and numerous friends. His passions for many decades had been dancing and playing bridge. Bob is survived by a son, Steven and wife Donna; a granddaughter, Rachel; a grandson, Eric; and a sister, Pat Effie. He lived a great life full of so many good memories. He will be missed by his family and everyone who knew him.
