💜✝️  Fifth Anniversary Remembrance.  

Mr Cozart was my fifth grade teacher . He was in charge of crossing guards  and selected  me as one   - yes way back then children were actually school crossing guards  !;anyway I kept loosing my badge and when it was turned in  Mr C  always said one more time and that's it but we never got to that's it .  He always gave me another and another chance . 

Dear Family & Friends of Frank Cozart.  This third Anniversary July 12, 2021 I will attend noon Mass at “OLV” to pray for you & in memory of Frank  RIP 💜✝️💜      🕊           

in 1967 Mr Cozart was my 5th grade teacher at garden city park school . I recall him as a strapping handsome man with a gental way about him who  foregave me time and time for loosing my crossing guard badge.  I will always be grateful that he was part of the wonderful memories of my childhood at our grade school . peace to him and you his family . 

Mr Martinez memory was appreciated by me.  I am smiling that he was a fifth grade teacher because I only spent 15 years straight with him as my two sons Principal.  If I would have known the story I could have used it.  So glad I spoke to him in 2017 ✔️ I am sure he is praying for me now.  He would often “back up” his teachers while alluding to the fact that some students needs can not be met in an average classroom environment.  Thus, why I was so happy to tell him that following his Phd, my son received honors prior to the receipt of his Md diploma from Columbia P & S.  This was important to me as I filed a petition with NYS education Commissioned Mills back in 1994 as I had him tested at four and very concerned that his needs would not be met in a slightly above average Village school, but with Hofstra supplemental Saturday classss he became successful.  We all remember that he was always respectful although  wE disagreed on much in late eighties through the turn of the century.  I will never forget how generous he was with graduation and awards night tickets after not realizing the high school prom was same night he scheduled graduation.  Parents divided and conquered with help of a friend.  That kindness did not go unnoticed.  We had a “love-hate” relationship often.  Well, now he knows that there is water on the moon and probably thought of you ✔️    Its been 20 years since we had seen each other but I am sure he will be on my heavenly welcoming committee when we will all have a clear view of each others motives, actions and decisions.  If we sat together now, we would probably both just laugh ❣️ 

Mr. Cozart was an outstanding school teacher.  I still have wonderful childhood memories of him which resulted in this internet search.  In the School Year of 1962-63, he was my fifth- grade- school teacher.  It was during these years that a child's brain is at its biggest development at the expense of their physical body.  That is the reason why children at this age grow slowly because most of the nutrients are directed to the development of the brain.  This may be the reason why memories of our childhood remain with us throughout our lives.  I have many memories of Mr. Cozart.  He was always fair and patient with a class of wild youngsters.  One memory I have was during a class about our solar system.   He asked the class if anyone thought there was water on the moon.  I was the only person who raised his hand.  He said that I was wrong that there was no water on the moon.  I told him that no one has been to the moon so no one really knows, perhaps the water is underground.   The classmates laughed but Mr. Cozart was pretty sure there was no water on the moon.  Little did he know...    Too bad I was two years too late in my effort to reach out to him.  But I have only fond memories of him.  He was admired and respected by the other classmates.  Bob Martinez  Garden City Park Elementary School 

I think Frank Cozart was a cousin of mine.  If I remember correctly my family went to visit his in New York (we're in VA) back around 1956 or so.  I would dearly love to talk to someone from the family to validate my information and learn more about the family.  Much love to you, always.

With condolences to the Cozart family on the physical departure of your dear husband, father,  grand-father, other relative(s) and friends.
Take solace that he is now at peace reaping the rewards of his work in this life.  Jesus said that those who welcome a little child in His name have welcomed Him! 
Please know that I have prayed for him during his illness these years.  I am a mom of two John Lewis Child's Elementary School Alum and "Frank" aka Mr. Cozart and I had many an encounter during those 14 consecutive years, as I strove consistently for excellence in all areas. We first met with pre-k in 1986 through 1994 with now Daniel J Stujenske, Esq. and continued 1992 through 2000 with now Joseph M. Stujenske, Md, Phd.  
I called his home May 2010 after Joe graduated  Summa w/ many honors from Harvard heading to Columbia Med. Of course he remembered us and was sincerely happy to hear about the success stories.  I picture Frank now with my husband (Dan & Joe's) dad who passed in 2014 --and in a place of peace, with everything seen clearly!   I will pray for all of you during this very difficult transition.  Keep sharing the memories and you will make it through!   Yesterday at a wedding, was a reunion of several from JLC class of 2000 and without knowing of Mr. Cozart's departure into eternal life, we were sharing stories of the sixth grade dances etc.  I am sure he was laughing with us!  Rest in Peace.

   It was my privilege to work with Eileen Mulman and Frank Cozart for 10+ years in the Main Office of the John Lewis Childs School.  I always felt that Eileen was the heart of JLCS and that Frank was its strength.

   Frank led with kindness, fairness and dignity no matter if he was dealing with the students, their parents, or the faculty and staff.  His leadership motivated us all to make JLCS a school of excellence.  It was a great place to work  and has special memories.

   My sympathy to his family.
  
    

Frank was a gift to have as a principal.
His quiet yet supportive nature commanded respect .
From the mornings playing sports with the teachers to the delicious corned beef and cabbage he made in the cafeteria on St. Patrick’s Day, Frank was the glue of our school.
On a personal note he devised an innovative  gifted and talented program that I was privileged to work in.
 Frank  made a difference in all our lives!

I was fortunate enough to be welcomed into the JLCS family by Frank Cozart in 1988. Up until Frank retired in 2004, he always proved to be a supportive and fair principal. If there was an issue, he addressed it directly and set about to find an equitable resolution. Above all, Frank was always a gentleman.
Over the course of the years, our work relationship developed into a friendship.
I feel so privileged to have known Frank and to  have worked for him.

It is with sadness of heart today that we cannot be with our Family at the celebration of Frank’s life.   We want our family and those who knew Frank to know that we are there in prayers of love.   We love and share a bond with Frank, our children who married and brought us together as a family.   We will miss Frank smile and love as we return for family holidays, special events and just to say Hi.  We had some wonderful times, such as our first trip to Vermont, that October long ago. (picture) A place I understood he loved to visit.   Franks love for family was a blessing and especially his love for our children and grandson.  We recalled today our memory of another October, after our children married.  Frank was in the dunking booth at the School October Carnival.     It was a memory forever seeing Frank sitting there encouraging the children to hit that target and dunk him.  He kept saying…” You can’t do it, go on and try” laughing.  I heard the children say” I really like him; I hate to dunk him in the water”.    What a tribute to a beautiful man that loved children and people.    That is Frank, always encouraging and loving.  My son took me to see Frank last October.  I walked in and said, “Hi Frank, its Cheri” that smile came across his face and he said, “I know who you are”!  I loved his smile that so many of his knew! These are a few of our memories as we have more to hold dear.  The love of our children, Michael and Dina, we hold as common bond and the grandson, Sawyer, they gave us.   We will miss you Frank but we will never forget.  One of the blessings God has given us, is the blessing to have the whisper of the soul of the one that has left us and find that whisper often as they come to our heart and soul.   Blessing and prayers to my family and HIS family and friends on this day of celebrating this man, Frank.  All our love. 

The world has lost a beautiful soul. I was blessed to work with this wonderful principal who made JLCS such a special school. Love to his family during this sad time. Pam Tietjen 

To the strongest man, I have ever met. I am going to miss you so much you taught me so much throughout my twenty years on earth. I will never ever forget you, grandpa thank you for making these years with me amazing.
