He was however a man who was passionate about his career in concrete with over 60+ years of waking up loving going to work each day. He created a legacy with his business Ray Cochran & Company. His children followed in his footsteps into the concrete world. He was a man who was there for anyone whoever needed him and a man who was loved by all he encountered. His loyalty, honesty & integrity were matched only by his wit & humor. All the way through his last moments he comforted his family with his jokes & he maintained being strong for them as he always did.
