Eugene (Gene) A. Cobb, 85, passed away at Miller’s Merry Manor, Wakarusa late Thursday evening, July 28, 2016. He had been failing in health.

Gene enjoyed the outdoors and family life. Some of his fondest recent memories was the nearly ten years that he and his wife, Pat, spent in Brownsville, Texas.

He was born Aug. 5, 1930 in New Paris to Charles W. and Pearl (Van Dermas) Cobb.

He is survived by his wife of nearly 66 years, Patricia (Corwin) Cobb, sons, Dennis and Greg Cobb, daughters, Deb (Ted) Webster and Linda (Lupe) Reyes, four grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, brother, James, and sister, Carolyn.

Eugene was preceded in death by his parents, a brother, Chuck, and sister, Eleanor.

There will be no visitation or services. A cremation will take place and a memorial service will be at a later date.

Reith Rohrer & Ehret Lienhart Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
