A life of purpose

Robert James Cole

January 8, 1941 — June 22, 2026

Robert James Cole is remembered for steady guidance, practical kindness, and the care he brought to his work, friendships, and family life.

He believed promises mattered, useful work should help someone, and listening was often more important than having the first answer.
