Robert Eastman Obituary

Susan, Ian, & James,

There are few words that can fully express my sadness at hearing of Bob's passing. From the first time we met at UNH, it was obvious how special and talented he was. Overshadowed at first by others, he came into his own and surpassed them as he found his niche in this life - but that didn't surprise me at all. All of us who knew him are grateful he touched our lives. He will be impossible to forget, frequently remembered, and always cherished.

Sorry to learn of Bob's passing. Al, my husband and Bob were great friends, also, on the Rollinsford PD for sometime. Al passed away on the 15th of this month. May God be with you and your family.

Sincerely,

Phyllis

Dear Susan and Family,I have fond memories as a child of sabotaging my brother Bob's fun (I was a younger sister) with Bobby Eastman.Carol and Bobby were both family friends I will never forget as we grew up in the caring neighborhoods of Dover. Please except my sympathy. I will pray for peace and God's blessing for your family at this time of great sadness. Bette (Peterman) Frazier

Dear Susan, Bob and I go back to Maple Street, 1956, first grade at Sawyer School - Horne St School -Dover HS in 1967. Bob was the President of the Student Council, a born leader. We shared a lot of great memories. Our friendship continued via e-mail. We last talked about the lobster cookouts. My memories of Bob's cheerfulness never have and never will diminish. My sincerest condolences to you and your family. Bob Peterman

Dear Susan and Family,

From the time I entered grade one, I traveled by the Eastman home on Maple St. Dover,NH to walk with my good friend Carol to Sawyer School and then thru highschool. We were very close friends and that continued as I visited Bob's sister every week she was at Dover House Health Care. My youngest brother, also Bob, was in Bobby's class. So we had a generation of good friendship. I loved my friend Carol and her positive outlook on life, even when she was dealt some of the most ultimate blows life could sustain. I know her brother must have the same strong sustenance for life. When Bob came to see me on one of his last visits East, I was so happy to hear of his success in film and great happiness in life with his family.

It is with the greatest sadness that I have read of his death and want you to know that I send my deepest sypathy to you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Susan & Family: We were so very surprised and deeply saddened to read the obituary for Bob. Jim has wonderful memories of happier times with his dear friend Bob. Our deepest sympathy to all of you. Sincerely, Rena & Jim Keays

Dear Eastmans,



One of the last times Bobby & I e-mailed, he asked if my mother would adopt him. Tonight she has just called to tell me of his passing and I am deeply saddened. My thoughts are with you and also with my friend Bobby.

Dear Susan: Our heartfelt sympathy to you and the boys. Bob was the best; the best friend, the best husband, the best father, the best cop and, of course the funniest man we have ever known.

We are reading all the wonderful times that are remembered with our pal Bobby. He always made for a Fun and Happy Time. Can see him doing the same in Heaven

To the Eastman Family,

My family deeply regrets the loss of Bob. As a good freind of James, I was privileged to witness the humor, kindness, and love Bob had for his family.

We extend our most sincere condolences



John Judge

We are so sorry to hear of Bob passing, our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My Dearest Susan:



I am on the floor, noooooooo! This could not be. I'm sorry by not strating out with my sympathy but years and miles never separated him from me. I loved that man, why, how? I know no doubt you have hundreds if not more people writing you but please write me. With all his friends here in this area, it would be a shame not to have a memorial for this loved guy. You didn't like Bob if you knew him, you loved him. I am in a state of total shock. The last time we spoke was when I was on 60 minutes and he called me rolling over laughing. At that time I asked him if he had a copy of "Here Today!". He said no, and I said I had one made from the original tapes and would make a copy and send it to him. Now I can't remember if I did or did not, it seems to me as I recall I lost the address and I don't know if it was before I had a chance to make it. I believe my son has it now. I know if you don't have a copy you would love one, please let me know (603) 343-2426 if you got a copy. I'm going to wait a day or so and hope that you will write with your phone number, if not I'll call information, but I'm sure right now you are very busy. Susan, I am a staunch Christian....and I know that if any one is in Heaven he's there now making the Almighty laugh, I'm very sure of it. I am making this short, I'm sure you will have many to respond to, but please let there be a Memorial here so that his friends can give him what he truley deserves. With my love, in Jesus Christ, our Saviour I am forever with you. Bob DuBois

To The Eastman Family,

I will be lifting you all in prayers .

Dear Sue

I cannot tell you how sorrY I am to hear of Bobby's passing. As you know we go back a long long time. We knew each other as kids and through Carol became good friends. I always will remember the joy when you and Bob married, and the birth of the kids. Millie and I are currently touring the US in our Motor Home and heard through the Fosters online. Please know that Bob will always hold a special place in our hearts as we always looked forward to seeing him when he was home. Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this very difficult time.

My best to your family.

Sincerely

John and Millie Emond

Oh my God! Oh my God! I am shocked! Bobby was one of my heroes and I can't believe this has happened. I think about all the wondeful times I had in Robert's presence and we all know how Bob could dominate a room and make everyone in it feel good. I am too upset to finish. Susan please e-mail me when your up to it.
