Robert (Bob) Maurice MacEachern, 84, of Spokane WA, entered into eternal rest Thursday, January 23, 2025, after a long battle with Dementia. He was, for 61 years, the loving husband of Kathryn MacEachern. Together, they raised five sons who will miss their father tremendously. Bob was a kind and compassion man with a quick sense of humor. He befriended the people on his postal route and would help anyone in need.

When not working, Bob was an avid bowler and enjoyed golf. He followed all college and professional sports, a passion he shared with his sons.
In addition to his wife, surviving are two sisters, Jane Scudder (John) and Judy Rutherford (Jim) both of The Villages Florida. His sons, Michael MacEachern of Milledgeville Ga; Charles MacEachern (Tammy) Florence SC; Daniel MacEachern (Jen) Knoxville TN; Joseph MacEachern (Carol) Hanahan SC; Peter MacEachern (Christina) Wilmington NC. Five grandchildren, Megan Phillips (Jon); Amber Graham (Justin) Brian MacEachern; Brad MacEachern (Kayla), Mattthew MacEachern (McKenzie); and five Great Grand Children Sophia, Crawford, Noah, Porter, and Noah.
