Robert Thomas Cora's Obituary
Robert Thomas Cora was born to Mary L. Cora on October 24, 1940, in Baltimore, Maryland. He left this life on June 3, 2024, in Seaford, Delaware where he made his residence.
Bob was raised by his grandparents, John and Dora Cora. He had aunts and uncles that also shaped the man he became, especially his Aunt Doris Cora. Bob had one brother, Richard Pindell, who preceded him in death. He is survived by his wife, Lorraine “Rainie”, his children: Robert Coburn, Michele Willet, Danny (Kim) and Bobby Davis, Kim Mullens, Melanie (Kevin) Reynolds and Pamela (Gene) Wheeler, 10 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.
Bob (aka Daddy, Pop, Pop Pop or Mr. Bob) was loved by many, his faithful, loyal friends became his chosen family. Special acknowledgment goes to Dena and Josh Rayne, who went above and beyond for many years. They provided love, care, meals, prayers, so much more than they could ever be thanked. Once you got through his tough exterior, you would discover his heart of gold and a devoted friend.
Bob wore many hats in his life, but his hard hat was issued by Bethlehem Steel at Sparrows Point. He retired after more than 30 years of service as a Millwright. He loved cars, fishing, collecting, and wheeling-and-dealing. Bob was well known at Wilson’s Auction and for having a vast inventory of doors and windows.
