John Cochran

Difficult to express the thoughts of gratitude for someone like John as an inspiration to me and countless others. John mentored me at the Y and told me there was a free ticket when I turned 80. I decided early on I wanted to be like John! If he can save me a spot I will meet him again one day.

Dear, dear Dr. C, I was just thinking about you the other day. You were a inspiration to so many budding speech-language pathologists, me included. I loved your humor, your many kindnesses, and your words of wisdom. You were one of the finest humans I've had the pleasure to know and definitely made the world a better place with you sunshiny disposition. My heartfelt condolences to your family. You will be missed.

Saw John many times while working out at the YMCA. He inspired me to continue my exercise routine for the rest of my life too. The world is a better place for having John in it.
