I knew Bill when he lived in Jeannette, PA in the 1950s. He was close to our family. After he left Jeannette, I really never knew where he moved to or what happened to him. I am so glad to read that he had a wife,
daughters, and grandchildren. He was probably one of the nicest men I ever met. Although it has been over 60 years, I never forgot about him.
I am not surprised to read all the wonderful words said about him.
and I am so happy that he seemed to have a great life which I always hoped for him. I am sorry to hear that he passed away.
He was a wonderful man. Rest In Peace

Dear Gloria and daughters, I am so sorry I missed calling hours and the service for your beloved husband and father. I tried to find the information but for some reason could not locate it. My prayers have been with you ever since I learned Bill went to be with the Lord. He was such a good man and friend. I miss him daily, so I cannot even imagine how all of you are feeling. I will continue to pray for all of you. Bill was such a kind, gentle man, who loved everyone. Surely his reward will be great. At this time, I can only look forward to seeing him again in heaven. May the God of all comfort give you His comfort in abundance.

Much love, Pam Clegg

Gloria and girls...We are so grateful to have met such a wonderful character in your husband and father-Bill. I remember when I first met him. He was my treasurer in the Ridgewood Civic Association. He had kept detailed notes for us to accomplish what we now have for our decent water-expensive but good. Please know our prayers are with you at this time and will always have fond memories of his astute and sound representation of a Godly Christian man who loved his family and wife until Jesus called him home. We prayed that day that we would be grateful for whatever time we had left and when it was all said and done, we would be thankful! God honored our prayers and today I share in your joy of gratefulness to God for his life. Hugs to you all!

The world was better for having him and anyone that knew Mr. Cochenour was the better for it, and while I didn't have the good fortune to know him long, I respected him always. He was a wonderful human being and remains a godly soul. God Bless him and friends, Mrs. Cochenour, Cathy, Misty & Chrissy.

Love and hugs from Jobie Bethel 52,
