Norris W. Cobb, 66, of Clifford Township, PA, died Wednesday, July 17, 2024 surrounded by his family at his home, after a courageous battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife of 40 years, the former Laurie A. Thomas.

Born March 4, 1958 in Dover, NJ, he is the son of Eleanor McAndrew Stanford and the late Carl Cobb. Norris is also survived by his step-mother, Pamela Cobb and preceded in death by his step-father, Garey Stanford.

In his younger days Norris was passionate about fixing up and working on cars and as an avid outdoorsman he spent countless hours hunting and fishing and was a master at both. He was a longtime owner and fan of Harley Davidson motorcycles and cherished the time riding on the open roads. Norris will also be fondly remembered for his terrific homemade wine, as well as his gardening skills which always produced an abundant harvest of vegetables and fruits. Another craft he mastered and loved was grafting fruit trees.

Norris loved the outdoors from picking mushrooms to hunting or riding his side by side in the woods with his family. Another love he had was cooking, canning and trying new recipes. He also loved grilling and using his smoker to try all different kinds of recipes and then having the family up to have a party and enjoy. Most important to Norris was his family, he spent much of his time with his wife and children boating and fishing and taking vacations every year. Later in years he loved his grandchildren to be at the house and he played with them and helped care for them and they all loved him dearly. He was retired after 25 years of service at Procter and Gamble in Mehoopany.

He is survived by three children: Eliza, Deliana and David Cobb; four grandchildren: Emma, Peter Jr., Evelynne and Autumn; one sister: Janet Vanderpool; two brothers: Timothy Cobb and wife, Sue and Westley Stanford and wife, Amanda; a step sister: Deanna Haynes; two step brothers: Corey Haynes and Chet Haynes and wife, Cathy; and many nieces and nephews.
