In Remembrance of Robert J. Kent, SOSSEC, Inc. Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board, who Passed Away on Sept. 21 https://sossecinc.com/in-remembrance-of-robert-j-kent-sossec-inc-co-founder-and-chairman-of-the-board-who-passed-away-on-sept-21/ Wed, 24 Sep 2025 18:19:13 +0000 https://sossecinc.com/?p=33196 It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our co-founder and Chairman of the Board, Robert J. Kent.

Bob built this organization on a foundation of vision, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. From the very beginning, he led our growth with exceptional leadership, shaping a culture rooted in innovation, collaboration, and service.

His passion for the SOSSEC and SCE Consortia, which he created, as well as the mission of the Department of Defense, not only transformed our organization but also inspired countless colleagues, partners, consortium members, and friends.

Widely recognized across Government and industry as a trailblazer in acquisition reform, Bob was always ahead of the curve. His pioneering work in developing consortium-based OTAs stands as a powerful testament to his vision, innovation, and enduring impact on the acquisition community.

While Bob will be deeply missed, his legacy lives on in the values, people, and work that define who we are today. We honor his remarkable life and contributions, and remain steadfast in carrying forward the vision he so passionately championed.

A Wake in Bob’s honor will be held on Friday, October 3, 2025, from 4:00 to 7:00 PM, and the Funeral Service will take place on Saturday, October 4, 2025, at 11:00 AM. Both services will be held at Brookside Chapel & Funeral Home,116 Main Street, Plaistow, NH. More information about the Funeral Home can be found here: www.brooksidechapelfh.com.

Following the funeral, graveside services will be held at Danville Center Cemetery—a location of special significance, as Bob generously donated the land to the town of Danville, NH.

A Celebration of Life/Bereavement Lunch will be held immediately following funeral service and interment (approximately 1:00 p.m.) at LaBelle Winery, the Harvest Room. The address is 14 NH-111, Derry, NH 03038.

As a mark of respect and remembrance, SOSSEC, Inc. offices will be closed on Friday, October 3, 2025.
