Robert Eugene "Bob" Cobb, Jr., 83, of Pace, FL died peacefully at home surrounded by his family on Friday, May 27, 2022.

Bob led a life of service to his country, his community, his church, and most importantly, his family. Born on February 5, 1939, in Mobile, AL, Bob graduated from McGill-Toolen Catholic High School, and furthered his education by earning his Associates Degree. He served two years in the US Navy as an Electronics Technician onboard Naval Station Rota, Spain. Professionally, Bob used his skills as an electronics technician and supported NASA's Saturn Apollo Program. Notably, Bob was a team member that designed and assembled the Lunar Roving Vehicle which was his professional claim to fame because his "fingerprints are on the moon." After leaving NASA, Bob joined the Chief of Naval Education & Training Command in De Kalb, MS supporting various teams developing US Navy flight simulators and maintenance procedures. He later moved to Pensacola, FL providing logistics support on the CNET Staff. Upon retirement from Government Service, Bob entered the field of residential real estate. A skilled artist, he was the founder, owner, and chief designer of Dragon Slayer Designs. Above all else, Bob enjoyed talking to anyone and everyone, and was keen to steer any conversation to his favorite topic, the Civil War.

He loved, and was loved by his wife of 60 years, Josephine "Fozzie" Cobb; son, John C. Cobb (Jan); daughter, Christine Holmes (Tommy); daughter, Jennifer Paradis (Greg); 12 grandchildren; 8 great grandchildren; 3 brothers, 2 sisters, and many nieces, nephews, and friends.

He is preceded in death by his father, Robert E. Cobb, Sr; mother, Madge L. Schambeau; 2 sisters, Rosanne Clayton and Ramona McNab; son, Jonathan Keith Cobb; and daughter, Constance Denise Cobb.

A private celebration of life and thanksgiving for Bob will be held on Friday, June 3, 2022, at Holy Cross Cemetery with Fr. Christian Plancher officiating.

Special thanks to Covenant Care, especially his nurse, Cassandra, and his home health aide, Sunday.
