Celebrating Bob Cochran - A Potter, Husband, and the Life of the Party

 


Our family is growing! We are super glad to introduce Robbie!







Today is bitter sweet, but we wanted to document this special day! In the world of ceramics, there exists a maestro, Bob Cochran, affectionately known as BOBO, whose passion for pottery is matched only by his dedication as a husband and his ability to light up a room. We have posted on Bobo before, yes, he is the 2 Soul Sister’s Dad. As we celebrated his 80th birthday and the anniversary of his unwavering love story with his flexible and resilient wife, it's time to honor this remarkable man who embodies the spirit of creativity, love, and a zest for life akin to Chevy Chase's infectious humor. Today would have been the 60th wedding anniversary. Yes, he is going to be grumpy about this post, but we don’t care. He doesn’t like the attention, but we want to celebrate him for all he does for us!

Bob Cochran - The Potter Extraordinaire:

Bob's journey as a potter has been nothing short of inspiring. His hands possess a magical touch, molding clay into breathtaking ceramics that mesmerize all who lay eyes on them. His commitment to perfection and innovation in pottery has made him a master of the craft. Whether crafting functional pieces or intricate art, Bob's work speaks volumes about his dedication, creativity, and love for the art form. He continues to take special orders from his 2 daughters and all the grandkids.

Devoted Husband and Life of the Party:

Beyond his artistic prowess, Bob Cochran is a devoted husband, the rock in his family's foundation. We sure do miss our mom. Elaine Cochran, better known as “GA”, was just the absolute best! Mom would giggle at Bobo for being like Chevy Chase and having his comedic charm. Bobo lights up every occasion with his infectious energy and humor. (Especially at Christmas, he puts lights on EVERYTHING!) Mom, a true partner, embraced the "Cochran craziness" with a flexible and open heart, making their union a testament to love's resilience and laughter's healing power. Yes, we even told funny stories and played one of her favorite songs at her funeral…Don’t mess with my Toot Toot! Again, never a dull moment and we are always making memories to share for years to come.

The recent celebration of Bob's 80th birthday was a testament to the impact he has had on countless lives. Friends, family, and admirers gathered to honor his legacy, sharing stories of his pottery mastery, his endearing humor, and the love he radiates. It was a joyous occasion, filled with laughter, a stuck car, friends, family and a display of Bob's stunning pottery pieces that adorn homes and hearts worldwide.

Here is the link to the information on his 80th Birthday! Below are a few snapshots of the day's events. Mailin...and Bobo with their shenanigans!

The REAL Chevy Chase is 80 TODAY!








He is also known as the “Dog Whisperer” but that friends is a post for another day! Bahahahahahaha Bertie, Bansky, Georgia, Buddy, Blue, Barley and Murray all love you and the special treats!





Love when he becomes friends with our friends and sends special prizes to them too!



He does love some Yard Art and we just can't explain it sometimes! 


Packing is not his thing! But it is ok he has us for that =) We have some stories about this!




He is going to be the best Great Grand Dad EVER..... Just ask Robbie! "GA" sure would love this little nugget.



Thanks, Bobo...for being you and always lending a helping hand in our art classrooms!






We love you BOBO! 1969 and 1965
