Robert Barry Eisenberg 1/19/1937 - 9/16/2026
We thank the Creator for the life of Robert Barry Eisenberg, born to Miriam and William Eisenberg on January 19, 1937. Fondly called Bobby in his younger years and later known as Bob. He was born and raised on the West Side of Chicago. As a child, he was playful and mischievous, spending time running around the city streets being a prankster with his close buddies . His Orthodox grandparents and extended family helped to raise him, while also planting seeds that would influence his lifelong spiritual seeking.

From an early age, Bob possessed an innate creative spirit. During his elementary school years, he found joy in drawing, doodling, and sketching, using his imagination as both an outlet and a way to stay engaged. That creativity remained a defining part of his life. Driven by ambition and a desire to succeed, Bob attended beauty school and became a hairstylist. He later became an accomplished businessman and the original owner of Bliss Salon and Day Spa on the Chicago northshore.

Throughout his life, Bob served in many roles: son, husband, father, (Saba) grandpa, businessman, hairdresser, teacher, mentor, and friend. He was kind and generous, always willing to give others an opportunity to grow while bringing laughter and lightness wherever he went. Bob became a TMmeditator* and a deeply spiritual man who lived with gratitude and joy. Bob presence touched the lives of many. Today, we remember Bob who was always thankful for the life he lived, the stories he told, the laughter he shared, the artistry he created, and the love and wisdom he leaves behind.
