I know how loved and respected Mr. Cobb was, what a fine example he set not only for his family but for everyone around him. His industriousness is, I would say, legendary--but he also possessed a creative mind that allowed him to tackle any challenge and see quite literally into the future.

My memories of Mr. Cobb were formed by my friendship with the Cobb family starting in the 70s, and I am saddened to hear of the loss of this dear man to the family. My sincere condolences to each and every one of you.
