Robert Morris Whitehead was born in Lodi Nebraska, a very small town near Callaway in Custer County, central Nebraska on November 4, 1925.

He grew up on the homesteaded Whitehead farm located off of Redfern Table. While just a child he contracted rheumatic and scarlet fevers. He was given exact amounts of strychnine to fight the fever, luckily Robert survived that illness.

He met his wife, Merle Krenz in Merna, where his family had moved to farm. They married in 1944 while Robert was on leave from the Navy, which he had just joined.

He sailed on a ship to Okinawa and went to Manilla in the Philippines and visited mainland Japan after the Japanese had surrendered.

Robert and Merle moved to Omaha, Nebraska. They bought a house and proceeded to have five children; Paul, Dale, Rita, Mark and Julie.

He worked 25 years for the post office as a clerk, retiring in 1987.

His hobbies were working on cars, home projects, bicycling, golf, bowling and yard work.

Eric A. Sauser, AKA Super Dad, AKA Easy, just a rockin’ dude from Omaha, NE passed away peacefully in his sleep on Friday, February 26, 2021, at the age of 43 with his wife by his side.  His departure was just in time for him to make his spiritual appearance at every Red Sox spring game.

A celebration of life will be held on Thursday, March 4, 2021, at 2pm at Roeder Mortuary, 2727 N 108th St.  The family will receive guests from 1-2pm with the service following.   Admission is free to all who attend this once in a lifetime show for the greatest man on earth.  Following the service, the family requests jamming out to Ozzy Osborne and raising a cold beer (preferably Busch Light) in celebration of Eric’s life.

Eric is survived by his wife, Crystal and three children, Amelia, Violet and Benjamin all of whom will likely sleep in the same bed for many years to come (sorry, Eric).  He is also survived by his loving and caring parents, Ronnie and Paula Sauser, and his sister and aunt extraordinaire, Jessica Sauser.  In addition to his immediate family, Eric leaves behind an incredible extended family and many, many friends.  He is preceded in death by billions, including his dog Harvey who most of us loved to hate.  We are confident they are joyfully reconnecting right now.

If you knew Eric, you knew you were loved, and there is a good chance he told you that – probably sober, but maybe not.  During his time here, he found a way into everyone’s heart.  Eric loved, in this order, his smoking hot wife, his brilliant kids and family, his many friends, the Boston Red Sox, the Kansas City Chiefs (before being a Chiefs fan was cool), the Huskers, Liverpool Futbol, QT iced tea, Adidas sneakers, fishing, backpacking, hiking, hunting, and any old Chevy he saw on the road.

Eric hated sad stories, beets, romantic comedies, a snow packed driveway and turning off the garage light.  That’s it.   Eric was content with most everything else.

We are not positive, but we think the cause of death was either leukemia or more likely being “dead sexy”.  Eric, we’ve always loved you and miss you already.

In lieu of flowers, please pray that the Huskers have a winning season, or send a donation to the Leukemia and Lymphoma society in Eric’s name.  He would appreciate either or both.
