In 1984, he graduated from the University of Illinois-Chicago, double majoring in Math and Philosophy. Tony worked in inventory management at Schwarz Supply Source for over 20 years. Outside of work, he could usually be found trying new food and restaurants with his wife, talking sports with his son, or doing the Chicago Tribune's Sunday word game with his daughter. He was known for his love of Pi Day (March 14) and his quick wit. Tony is predeceased by his father, Anthony Cocco. He is survived by his wife, Kerry (née Harrington); their two children, Zachary and Sarah; his mother, Kathryn; his siblings, Teresa Cocco (Wayne Pianovski) and Daniel (Sherece) Cocco; and many other relatives and friends.
