Peter "Bob" Kosco

Bob was born on July 18, 1929, in Hackensack, New Jersey. He was the second of four sons of Louis and Anna (Spinosa) Kosco. He proudly served in the Third Infantry Division during the Korean War, attaining the rank of Staff Sergeant. Over the years, he participated in many veterans' organizations and took great pride in his service.

He was an accomplished boxer, football and baseball player. In 1957, he started Kosco Trucking Inc., which he owned until he retired. He loved old cars and motorcycles.

But, most of all, he was a dedicated and loving family man. He married the love of his life in 1954 and they built a long, happy life together. He is survived by his devoted wife, Mary, and their children, Jane (Glenn) Masterson, Tim (Lisa) Kosco and Ken (Michele) Kosco. He will always be a beloved grandfather to his four grandchildren, Jaclyn and Peter Masterson and Jackson and Maddie Kosco. He loved spending time with them and especially watching them play baseball and softball.

He is reunited with his dear brother, Frank Kosco, and survived by his loving brothers, Louis (Elaine) Kosco and Jack (Carol) Kosco.

He will be missed beyond words.
