Claude "Bob" Robt Eubanks

Claude Robt “Bob” Eubanks, age 84, of Leesburg, Florida passed away at his home on November 18, 2024. Bob was born on April 19, 1940 in Knoxville, Tennessee to the late Samuel Pink and Ella Mae (Jeffries) Eubanks.

After graduating from high school and attending college he enlisted into the United States Air Force. He was an aircraft hydraulic systems specialist and retired after 22 years of service.

Bob moved to Leesburg in 2012 from Arkansas. He enjoyed fishing, hunting and partying with family and friends. He was also into crafts, making his own baits and lures, cooking and spending time refurbishing and collecting antique guns. It definitely goes without saying that his fondest time was spent with his kids and grandkids. He was affectionately known as Paw Paw by them.

Bob was Baptist by faith and a member of the Amvets Post 2006 in Leesburg.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 61 years, Gloria J. Eubanks; three children, James Michael Eubanks, Kayla Denise Vaughn and husband, Marty and Bobbie Lynnelle Stout and David Berry; two granddaughters, Katheryn Lashea Mansfield and husband, Trevor and Karli Elaine Howell and husband, Christopher and three great grandchildren, Trace Howell (who was nicknamed “Boudreau” by his Paw Paw and said he was the Best Paw Paw EVER), Wade Mansfield and Madelyn Kate Mansfield.
