Robert L. Codey Obituary
Bob Codey, a Torrance resident for 45 years, passed away peacefully at home on October 23, 2010 at the age of 74 after a long illness. Bob was born in Erlanger, Kentucky and moved to Torrance in 1965 when he began his 33-year teaching career at El Camino College in the architectural department. Bob also owned and operated his own building and design firm. With his family and friends, Bob enjoyed camping, boating, fishing, horseback riding and attending grandchildren's sporting events. Bob is survived by wife, Paula; son, Steve (Lizette) Codey; daughter, Tracey (Marty) Mullan; grandchildren, Kyle and Tyler Codey and Phillip and Mackenzie Mullan. A memorial service will be held at Rice Chapel in Torrance on Saturday, October 30, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. The family asks that the attire for this celebration of Bob's life be as Bob would have wanted, beach casual (shorts, jeans, Hawaiian shirts are encouraged). The family is requesting that, in lieu of flowers, contributions be sent to El Camino College Foundation for a memorial scholarship in Prof. Robert Codey's honor. Please send your contributions to the El Camino College Foundation at 16007 Crenshaw Blvd., Torrance, CA 90506 w/Prof. Robert Codey in the memo line.

Bob was a delight to work with at El Camino. He had such a positive effect on so many students. He will be missed!

I feel privileged to have known Bob. I had the best times going on camping trips with the family. He always made me feel welcomed. It was so great that he was able to get my Dad to get a boat. My parents and I have many fond memories of Bob. My prayers are with you Tracey, Paula and Steve during your time of loss.
