Cochran, Joseph Lewis

Joseph Lewis Cochran, 79, of Dublin, VA passed away at his home on October 18, 2010. He is survived by his wife Margaret, three children, seven grandchildren, and many other family members and friends. A loving husband and devoted family man, he always put others first. He was a hard worker who brought happiness to those who knew him through his compassion, generosity and integrity. He loved to teach and learn, and took great pride in a job well done. His family was always his priority, and he dedicated his life to providing all he could. He lived his life with honor and grace, and always had a smile and a kind word to give. He believed in our our God Jehovah and Lord Jesus Christ and shared his faith gladly. May the light that he brought to every life he touched continue to shine brightly in all of our memories until we see him again. Pa, we love you dearly and will never forget you.
