Mr. Cobb was a member of the Lacona and Pulaski Baptist Churches, past chief of the Lacona Fire Department and served on the Sandy Creek School Board for several years. For many years he planted and cared for the flowers at the Lacona Bank.
He was an extreme handyman and built porches for many local area families. Walt loved the great outdoors and was an avid hunter and enjoyed the time he spent away going to Beaver River Flow in the Adirondacks. Just to prove he was capable of sewing and knitting he made several outfits, including his daughter’s wedding dress. For many years he made maple syrup for all to enjoy.
Later in life his talents came out by creating his beloved park for his family “Camelot”. He took great pride in his park and loved having his family there to enjoy it.
