The heartbreaking news was shared by Bill’s brother, Thomas G. Cobbs, who serves as a pastor. In an emotional Facebook post, he wrote, “Bill died peacefully at his home in California on June 25.” The announcement came as a shock to many, as Bill had recently celebrated his 90th birthday surrounded by his closest family members.
A devoted family man, Bill was more than just an accomplished actor. He was a loving partner, a caring elder brother, an affectionate uncle, and a mentor to many. He also served as a surrogate parent, a godfather, and a loyal friend to those fortunate enough to know him personally. His family takes comfort in the belief that he has found eternal peace with his Heavenly Father.
