Industry - Born in Anson, Maine on July 14th, 1942, Robert "Bob" Lee Coro, 83, passed away on May 21st, 2026, very unexpectedly surrounded by his family. Bob was the son of Mary Ellen (Deaveaux) Coro and Joseph Lee Coro. He attended school in Anson and Madison. He was very busy as a child, helping around the farm, bringing in firewood and working on a nearby farm haying.
He was married on May 13th, 1967, to Patricia Cain. They had three children, Darlene in '68, Tracy in '70 and Brenda in '72. When he started work, it was at Quimby's in Bingham. Later, he went to Madison Paper where he worked until the family moved to Medway where he then worked for his brother, Adolph, in an auto salvage yard. Leaving there, Bob and his family came to Industry. He went to work for Foster's Wood Mill, which eventually turned into a plastic silverware factory and wood shop. He retired from Foster's and loved his free time.
He is predeceased by both his parents, Joseph and Mary Ellen, sister Virginia Coro, sister and brother-in-law Leah and Paul Provost, brother and sister-in-law Adolph and Helen Coro, sister and brother-in-law Julia and Walt Ward, sister and brother-in-law Thersa and Ronnie Kirk, brother-in-law Bernard "Bud" Sinclair, brother Albert Coro, brother Leo Coro and daughter Darlene Phillips.
