Don Cosco, dad of Monongah’s D.J.
Cosco, passes away
Donald Patsy Cosco, Sr. Fairmont East
graduate in the 1958 Busy Bee school band and father of Monongah’s D.J. Cosco,
who is married to Amy, passed away Wednesday, October 27 in his Farmington
home.
I can’t tell if he was related to
Patsy Cosco, Jr., based on the names in Don’s obituary, who once owned Fairmont
Bowling Center with the Cimaglia family that was incorporated in 1981.
Every address listed for Don (3 or 4)
are in Farmington so he was pretty much a Farmer folk his entire life.
