Not sure what to say?

I was a child patient of Dr. Cobb's in 1987-90 with a malignant brain tumor. I will always remember his way of bringing calm to my storm, like when I shared with him my fear of going back to school with a bald head and a wig. He instilled in me the spirit of an Overcomer, which I still carry to this day. Sometimes he would even sing an old gospel hymn to ease my nerves before an MRI/CAT scan. My family affectionately called him THE GODFATHER because of his presence, and his reference to me as...

I was privileged to manage Dr. Cobb's neurosurgical group for many years, and learned to love and appreciate his combination of brilliance and grace. He could converse with anyone (even me!) about anything, and give you the feeling that your opinion mattered to him. He is sailing in God's kingdom now and still winning races. Rest in peace, Dr. Cobb.

Dear Kathy,

Glenn and I are so sorry for your loss. What an accomplished man you husband was - I only wish I had known him. We are keeping you and your family in our prayers.

A great man that understood the nature of sailing competition as honorable, friendships as important and life to be lived at its fullest.

He was a gifted man. I was a patient of his in '58, and the talents he had lead to the talents of today which will lead to the talents of tomorrow. Thank you, Dr. Cobb.

We are so sad. Cully was a wonderful human being, great doctor and dear friend. We will miss him dearly. We love you...

Cathy and Family- I am so sad to hear of Cully's passing- every time the wind stirs I will think of him and his enduring patience while teaching me to sail many years ago- his kindness and love for all things good have helped me throughout life-- I will forever remember him~ Bill Spencer

Cathy, we are sad to hear about Cully and at the same time the many happy memories of times spent with both of you bring smiles to our faces.

Love and blessings,
Ron and Priscilla Thweatt

Cathy and family,
