Cpl Hobart Cobb

[JAMarine]

It is with deep sorrow I am here today to inform this Family of the passing of a Great Person, Man, Husband, Father, Friend and Marine.
I received a phone call about 0800 PST from Faye Cobb informing me of the this loss. This is all I know for now. I will post additional information as I receive it.
**************************
God Bless You Hobart. You will suffer no more. I will miss you so much but I know your faith in Jesus Christ has paved the way for you to the Glory of Heavan as you paved the way for all Marines from me to you.
I love you Hobart. You took the place for my own Father and now.... I'll never forget you my Friend.

My Deepest Sympathy and Condolences for the Family and Friends....

Rest in Peace Mr Cobb:

When we have done all the work we were sent to Earth to do, We are allowed to shed our body, which imprisons our soul like a cocoon encloses the future butterfly;
And when the time is right, we can let go of it and we will be free of pain, free of fears and worries, free as a very beautiful butterfly returning home to God.

Outstanding Marine, Father and Friend

God Bless,

Ellie

This is indeed sad news. Mr Cobb has made a huge impact on many folks and will be missed in our Chat Room. I loved to hear him speak of his experiences on Peleliu and the landing on Okinawa. He was a fine man and Marine.

I've had the pleasure to visit with Mr Cobb. It was a real Honor to talk to a Peleiu Combat Veteran.

He reminded me and taught me of the Legacy of our Beloved Corps.

Argonne, Peleiu, Chosin, Hue City, Falluja, we Never Quit! Semper Fi Mr Cobb. Stand tall St Pete, a Marine is entering!

I just received a call and spoke with Debra, one of Hobarts daughters. She is flying to GA from Michigan. She states the Family looks toward the end of the week if not into the weekend for Services and Funeral.

I will update when I receive additional news.

God Bless Hobart.

This is a loss to all of us - most especially to the Cobb family. I will inform tigger and he will let the 1MARDIV folks who need to know..a hero of Pelilieu and the island hopping campaign, as well as being a "China Marine" is a person who should be applauded and respected.

TO all the Cobb family, you are in my prayers. God will hold you all in the hollow of his hand - and remember that he has Mr Cobb with him to also watch over you.

My deepest sympathy and respect to the family of a wonderful Marine. May he rest in peace!!!!

SEMPER FI,

[Seeley]

He will be missed, and remembered well. Rest easy Marine.

Rest In Peace Mr Cobb!

He was pretty cool - I got to talk to him a time or 2. Someone please be sure to post his arrangements for me - I think I'm in the same town -didn't he live in Kennesaw (I think?).

Semper Fi Sir!

THE FINAL INSPECTION

The Marine stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes wew shining
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, you Marine,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other check?
To My Church have you been true?"
The Marine squared his shoulders said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays
And at times, my talk was tough,
And sometimes I"ve been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep...
Through, I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though, at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here,
They never wanted around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Marine waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God,
"Step forward now, you Marine,
You've borne your burdens well,
Walk peacefully on Heaven's street,
You've done your time in Hell."

TO ALL THAT SERVE,
SEMPER FIDELIS


AND WHEN HE GOES TO HEAVEN.......

TO ST. PETER HE WILL TELL, ........

ONE MORE SOLIDER REPORTING SIR....

I SERVED MY TIME IN HELL......

It's an unfortunate day here on Leatherneck to loose such a great member. I spoke with Mr. Cobb on many occasions and was always in awe of him and his accomplishments. Heres to you Mr. Cobb.

Semper Fidelis, Sir.
