Above all Bob was a mentor always willing to freely share his vast knowledge.  If you showed the slightest interest in a subject Bob took the time to work with you.  A true gentleman and scholar of the old school.

Bob Eddy was a Prince of a man and a true and sincere friend.
To me he was a special person with a big encyclopedic  brain with an unbelievable memory.  His life was made busy with many occupations and hobbies that he mastered,  enjoyed to the fullest, and shared with many.  Every Tuesday Bob, Ellis and I would lunch and attempt to solve the worlds problems. We had fun.
Bob, I will truly miss you but I am comforted to know in my heart that you will be taken care of,  are in a good place,  and will be missed by many.

   Bob Eddy was a gentleman of the old school.  He was a unique mentor always willing to share his passion and knowledge regardless of the subject matter.
   I was living in Korea working for the Army and had excavated the remains of Chinese solders killed during the 1950-1953 Korean War.  I recovered a tiny fragment of an explosive shell and asked Bob to please held identity it.  He immediately recognized the 1/8 inch fragment as part of the firing mechanism from an American hand grenade and, of course, had a complete example  in his extensive research collection to show me.
   Thank you Bob for caring and taking the time to share your wealth of experience and information.  You were a superb mentor.

Eddy family-past memories of love and happiness helps heal a broken heart.

Mr. Bob, I remember when I was just a teenager~ The coin and gun club was at the VFW hall on Richland in Metairie. Mr. Bob used to tell me about every coin every gun. I used to say Mr. Bob ~ you must have lived your whole life learning about coins as a child and your adult life about guns. He would laugh. 
 I remember walking into Mr. Bob's house the first time ever and him having to show me all of his World's Fair Collection because I told him that I think I had gone to it but I don't remember. 
Mr. Bob had alot of words of encourgement and wisdom for me. I truly did admire Mr. Bob~ Rest easy and fly high . Love you forever
