To the Paragine Family: When I heard of the sudden death of CoCo I felt a great loss. I will miss his loud and hearty laugh and his outgoing personality as we talked in the office of Sheridan Park and all of the times we would walk outside to have a smoke togother. The park will not be the same without him and he will be missed by many. Rest in Peace buddy.
