Robert W. Cochran
Robert W. Cochran I, with his loving family by his side, peacefully ran out of runway at his home in Winthrop, Maine, on Jan. 8, 2021. He was 87. The youngest of four children, he was born in the township of Oil Creek, Pennsylvania, the son of the late Donald and Olive Cochran.
After graduating from Colestock High School in Titusville, Pennsylvania, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy during the Korean Conflict, serving in Fleet Air Squadron Six V-10. After fulfilling assignments in Morocco and Iceland, he was stationed at Brunswick Naval Air Station. Little could he have known that this assignment would lead to his meeting Jeannine McKeone, our Mother and the love of his life, at a local dance. They were married in April of 1954 and over the course of the next 63 years, they built a solid marriage, a lively, healthy family, and a happy household filled with humor and music, far beyond what he believed possible for himself.
