Robert Cochran Obituary

Bob Cochran, age 67, died peacefully April 4, 2014 at home with loved ones. Beloved husband of Margaret "Marny" nee Meidell, loving father of Sean (Lesli), the late Erin Kathleen, and Brian, proud grandfather of Caden, adored brother of Sharon (Jerry) Stewart, Pat Cochran Mollo, Kate (Tim) Hyland and Sheila (Bob) Kroon, and devoted son of Ruth and the late Harold Cochran. Dear uncle of many nieces, nephews and grand-nieces and nephews. Possessed of keen insight and intellectual curiosity, Bob embraced life, was a true friend to many and prized family above all. Behind his wry humor and kidding was a kind, loving heart. He was an army veteran. A celebration of Bob's life will be held in May. Donations may be made to nanets.net to help further neuroendocrine cancer research.
