Charlotta 

She was a dynamic person, helped my shop get their first Collective Bargaining Agreement. She was always there to help with IAM members and fighting for the rights of the machinist union membership. As one of our BR stated, "We were blessed to have her on our side as long as we did". She will be sorely missed. Prayers for Carl and family, know she is in heaven, no more pain no more sorrow, fully enlightened. 

Sorry for your loss Carl, sad to hear of her passing. I knew Virgina from the other side of the aisle at Convair and many tailgate party's for the Padres and Chargers at the stadium. Our prayers are with you and the Family

My deepest condolences Sharon Mateja, Eric Cobb and Carl Cobb. Although I live faraway, I have always felt very close to her, since I was very welcome into her house and treated like family. She made my dream of visiting America come true, and I will keep all those great memories and be grateful forever.

Virginia Cobb! A life well lived. A friend to many and an inspiration to all. Although we worked together at GD we were also good friends. Shopping, trips to the garment district in LA, whale watching, Padres games, Halloween parties, it was alway a fun time to be at her side causing "trouble". How can anyone forget her sense of humor and laugh. Such a bright spirit will NEVER be forgotten. Gone too soon, time went by in a twinkeling of an eye. RIP Virginia

I have had the honor and pleasure knowing and working with Virginia and Carl. A beautiful lady - I will miss her wit and humor. God Bless!

Dear Carl & family.

I pray you all find peace in the wonderful memories of Virginia

I am deeply saddened to hear about Virginia's passing as the news came as quite a shock. You have my sincerest sympathy.

I know how much she meant to you all and her passing will be hard. Please take comfort in the the many wonderful years and countless memories you had together. Virginia was a very special lady. I will always remember her beautiful smile and her boisterous laugh. She was a joy to be around and I enjoyed her visits to the office. She was always so thoughtful and brought the office healthy snacks to enjoy. To this day, I always think of her when I see a fruit tray.  My favorite thing about her visits however, were the delightful stories of her adored grandchildren and family.  My thought and prayers are with you. 

Love always, 

Jennifer (Dr.Mateja's office)

Virginia was a very special person.  I worked with her at GD when I served in the Labor Relations and Human Resources roles.  She was an extremely kind and fair human being.  A great leader of the Alumni Club and my thoughts and prayers are with the family.

My neighbor and friend of 35 years, lots of memories of raising our kids, Christmas parties and Super Bowl or in later years just sharing afternoon coffee and gossip. I will miss you my friend.

Love to Carl and Eric

I worked with Virginia in the 70's when I was involved with Local Lodge 389.

She was a tiger of a woman and lit up the room when she entered,
Rest in peace dear Virginia.

My sincere condolences to the Cobb family - Virginia literally improved thousands of working families lives by her efforts. Sister Cobb was a true blue FIGHTING MACHINISTS! RIP Sister Cobb.

Carl and Eric,

     Our most sincere condolences on the passing of Virginia. May many happy memories comfort you during this time.

Sincerely,
Mike and Donna

Carl and Eric, I am so sorry for your loss.  I knew Virginia to be a devoted wife, mother, and dedicated union sister.  I first met Virginia in 1977 as my Union Representative at General Dynamics Electronics Division.  She was a strong female leader in a male dominated IAM&AW.  When she was first became active in the union in the 1960's, it wasn't easy for women to run for union office, but through her strong will, intelligence, and love of her fellow workers, she pioneered the way for other women in labor like myself.   I served with Virginia in Local Lodge 1125, District 50 of the Machinists Union as an elected Business Representative from 1985 until 1994.   It was always a tough job and I grew to appreciate Virginia's dedication to the labor movement which she continued to serve in for many years until her retirement. Even then,  she served as a leader of our retired Machinist Union members.  I wish Virginia could have lived on this earth for a few more years to enjoy her grandchildren as they grow up. I wish she could have continued to be a voice for the working man and woman in these times when they seem forgotten.  But we all must lay down and rest one day from our labor.  May we all leave an honored legacy of accomplishment for our fellow human beings as Virginia did.  May you rest in peace, Virginia.

I loved Virginia...so, sorry to hear of her passing. My deepest condolences.

I AM VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. WHILE I WAS NOT A UNION MEMBER  I WORKED WITH VIRGINIA AT H.S. I WORKED IN THE COPY ROOM AND ENJOYED HER WHEN SHE CAME INTO MY ROOM.

In remembrance of Virginia Cobb Retired Area Director IAM LL1125.

To Carl and Family: Brother Carl, my condolences to you and the family for your loss. Virginia was a strong woman, mentor, leader and role model for all in the labor movement. She was tireless and relentless when it came to fighting for her membership, and all of us in the movement. I always admired her leadership, right, wrong or indifferent, you always knew how she felt about the issues.
Take solace in knowing she will missed, but her legacy as a Labor Leader will long be remembered.
Steve "Coop" Cooper

To Virginia's Family:  
       My condolences for your loss.  Sister Virginia was one of the most effective and dedicated leaders in our Union I have had the honor to know.  Her lifes' work provided thousands of families a better standard of living and the dignity all wokers deserve.   Thank you for sharing her with all her labor family for so many years.  May God's peace be with you during this difficult time.

Carl and Family,
It is with a heavy heart that I share my condolences and sympathy with you and your family. I first met Virginia in 1999 during a contract negotiations with CAE. We were able to bargain a great agreement for our members from San Diego and Tucson. We spoke with each other routinely after the negotiations continually honing and refining our bargaining skills and tactics with Service Contractors.  In 2007 I was assigned to work in San Diego and Virginia was a tremendous help in introducing me to the community and passing along the deep rooted labor history of the employers and bargaining units. She was tireless advocate for working people and she will be missed.  I extend my prayers to you and family!
