Robert was born in Memphis, Tennessee on February 22, 1939 to the late Robert H. Cochran, Sr. and Bernice D. Cochran. He married the late Rosalie Alice Branch on June 5, 1971. From their union came their sons Michael H. Cochran and Stephen E. Cochran. Robert was a hardworking and devoted family man. He served in the United States Navy and retired as an Amtrak Train conductor after many years.
