Bob was an avid street rodder - a racer at heart with the NHRA where he raced the circuit in the late 60's to mid 70's in the pro-stock ranks. He was a 20 year member and Past President of the Data Processing Management Association (DPMA) receiving numerous awards.
Bob was Past Chairman of the Public Affairs Committee of the San Antonio Livestock Expo and dedicated member of SALE which raises money for youth scholarships. He was a good Christian man and a devoted son, husband, father, and grandfather. Bob was a giving man who continued to give after his death by donating his corneas, and thus the gift of sight to two people through the San Antonio Eye Bank.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Jack, who was killed in the Korean War.
Bob is survived by his wife, Lu Pochelski Baldauf; daughter, Sherrill Cockrill and husband Glenn; grandchildren, Courtney Cowan and Christopher Cockrill; sisters-in-law, Sister Lenore Pochelski and Louise Pochelski.
