Robert Cliff Cole III, also known as "Bob", was born on July 14, 1954 to Robert Cole Jr. and Jean Cole. Bob passed away unexpectedly on August 2, 2020 at the age of 66. Bob is preceded in death by his late mother Jean. He is survived by his loving wife Kathy, beloved son Brian, cherished father Robert Cole Jr., dear brother Richard (Lisa) Cole and dear nephew Taylor Cole. Bob will be missed by his friends, co-workers and his extended family.
Bob met the love of his life, Kathy, when he was a junior and she was a senior in high school. They later re-kindled their friendship when the two of them attended the same college in Alabama. They fell in love, married, and had their son, Brian. Bob was a proud Veteran of the United States Air force. He worked for many years in the banking industry and then got his dream job in recent years, which was working for Ford Motor Company as an I.T. Technician. He left us doing what he loved most.
Bob enjoyed spending time exploring the internet, as well as keeping up with the latest news. His favorite hobbies included reading and watching NASCAR and golf on TV alongside Kathy. His main interest was in cars of all makes and models, ranging from tiny Matchbox models to full-size automobiles. He loved going to car shows and museums with Kathy, and he enjoyed watching TV shows, especially about cars. Bob and Kathy made many good memories attending plays and musicals at local theaters and also during their frequent movie “dates” at home. They also enjoyed visiting extended family together and making fond memories. Bob and Brian enjoyed their many moments together and also their many enlightening father-son discussions. Bob will be deeply missed by his family.
