Family pays tribute to American killed in London attack

The family of an American man killed last week in the London attack offers tribute to his generosity and say they are grateful for the help and support so many have shown during a horrible time.

Kurt W. Cochran from Utah was on the last day of a European trip celebrating his 25th wedding anniversary when he was killed on Westminster Bridge. He and his wife were visiting her parents, who are serving as Mormon missionaries in London.

Family spokesman Clint Payne tells reporters Tuesday that Cochran’s wife, Melissa, is steadily improving.

Payne says that Cochran “left a legacy of generosity and service that continues to inspire us.”
