I just came upon this obituary. I decided to research my Kosary Family History..My condolences. I am the daughter of Ramona Kosary and Niece of Joe/Arnie Kosary.. My mother passed away close to seven years ago and Uncle Joe this past August. I remember Walter and the Family, more so when my Granny was alive, Anna and Grandfather Joe.

God Bless you and may we meet again.

I was very young when I knew Mr.Kosary. He and my dad were friends. My dad took care of the Cardinal at Midway. I still remember him today. The roof patio and a clock with a laughing face on it. He was always very nice to us. My condolences from the Austins

We wish to offer our sympathies to your family at the loss of Mr Kosary. Aside from helping us lay our father to rest, we remember him from the 59h Street neighborhood where my brother and sister knew Kenny (& my mom was Kenny's Den Mother in Cub Scouts.) I went to school with Eddie. I'm sure they are reunited again.
