My dad's father was named Charlie Coco. I've never met him but I know he ran a bar in chicago many many years ago with my grandmother Gene (Genevieve) I saw a news article about it. I believe this may be his family. Would love to speak to anyone in the family.

Sad to lose another long time friend from Chinatown's CYO after some 70+ years. The Coco family was an institution in Chinatown with their auto repair and grocery store on the corner of 23rd Street and Wentworth.

Then as now, we all thought Fred was an inspiration to all of us. Fred and I have kept in touch over the years. He was even chosen by the late Boyd Brown as his best man.

Dear Joe & Gerry and family. We were very saddened to hear of Fred's passing in an email from my sister. We are vacationing in FL . Several years ago I tried to contact Fred when I believe he lived in a Mobile Park in Miramar, FL but never made contact.
He was in our wedding parry and was a dear friend and cousin. Our deepest sympathy .
