Robert was born in New Rochelle, NY, on October 10, 1927, to Eleanor (Sagendorf) Euiler and Paul Waldo Euiler. Robert; known as Bob to all who knew him, grew up in Larchmont, NY. While attending Mamaroneck High School where he played ice hockey and excelled in football. Graduating in 1946, he earned the nickname "Ike" and was even inducted into the high school Hall of Fame in 1991. Following high school, Bob joined the United States Army where he was appointed as a Staff Sergeant in November of 1947 and served in World War II in the Field Artillery Battalion. After his discharge from the service, while spending summers at his parents' home in Rumney, NH, he met a girl from Boston whose family had a farm across the street. That girl would later become his wife of 64 years. Eugenia Caroline Harmon was attending nursing school in Boston, so Bob decided to move there to be closer to her. Eugenia, Carol to all who know her, and Bob were married on April 23, 1954. While in Boston Bob worked as a lineman at Boston Edison Company. In 1955, after the birth of their first child, a daughter, Carol and Bob decided to move north to Campton, NH. He began working at the White Mountain Power Company and their second child, a son, was born in 1957. They moved to Meredith in 1959 and purchased their forever home of 57 years in 1961, where they would raise their 2 children. After 32 years of service, he retired as General Foreman from the NH Electric Coop in 1991. Between 1980 and 2014, Bob would welcome 5 grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Throughout his life Bob always had special interests in model trains and in sailing, even riding out the hurricane of 1938 (at age 12) on his favorite sailboat named the Mashnee. His primary interests were always his family and his home, which included many pets along the way. Nothing in this world was more important to him than his family who all remain incredibly close. During his 27 years of retirement, he enjoyed spending loads of time with his family while always keeping his hands busy with countless projects. While smoking his pipe, he built numerous pieces of furniture, wood carvings, model ships, miniature cabins and shadow boxes and woodworking projects of all kinds, big and small. Everyone close to Bob has many cherished memories as well as gifts made with love and perfection by his hands. Bob (known fondly to many as "Papa" once he became a grandfather) was an extraordinary husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend who will be sorely and intensely missed.
