GUGLIELMO COCO Obituary

COCO, GUGLIELMO (WILLIAM) June 27, 1935 – December 30, 2018 Peacefully passed away with his loving family by his side, in his 84th year, on the Feast of the Holy Family. Beloved husband of 58 years to Nina. Loving Dad to Jenny (Michael) and Rocky (Lora). Cherished "Nonno" to Anthony (Erica) and Jessica. Predeceased by his parents Virginia and Rocco Coco, his brother Antonio Coco and brother-in-law Domenic Ferrera. Will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered by his brother Luigi Coco, his sister Flora Prantera, brother-in-law Frank Ferrera, as well as his many nieces, nephews, extended family, friends and employees of the Coco Group.

I didn't know you sir. I recently moved to the city and would pass by your memory near davisville STN daily and for some reason just prayed to your spirit everytime I passed by, never knowing it was you until today. For some reason, you seem to have helped me in many ways since I came here. So here's to knowing you in spirit and soul. And to say thank you. Rest well sir.

It has been a privilege to be part of your Coco Paving family for so many years and it will be sad not seeing you at the Bowes yard when I am in town. Thank you Bill for the years I have had with you and all the times I was looking over my shoulder for you and wondering if the windows and floor were clean enough on the machine.My family and I thank you for taking that chance on me so many years ago and I owe it to you for being the Coco employee that I am today. You will definitely be missed. Thank you.

What a privilege it was to know, to work with and to enjoy some golf with this vibrant generous man. He was devoted to his beautiful family and committed to building a successful business for them. He will be missed by many and remembered by all who met
him. Thanks for the fun memories Mr. Coco and enjoy your rest, it is so deserved. May God bless you and keep you close.
