Lou Cosco was a true family man and a tremendous neighbor who was always kind and willing to help take care of what needed to be done. Lou and Joan we know were proud of the family they have raised and such is a wonderful legacy. God's speed and prayers of comfort for the entire family in the certain hope to all be reunited one day in heaven.
