Not sure what to say?

Cosmo was a wonderful man and a great friend both to us and to my parents, Stan and Ginny Sheppard of Southboro. We will miss him. God bless his memory and all of you who are fortunate to be his family.

My condolences to the Valente family. Mr. Valente was such a huge part of my high school years. His instruction was inspiring and many of my fondest memories of high school come in no small part due to him. Band was always one of the highlights if my day. I will miss him. Requiem in pace.

Mr. V was "that teacher" for me . Without his support, I had no other reason to go to MHS. Thanks and god bless you Mr.Valente

Cosmo was so many things to our family. He worked side by aside with my Aunt Antinette Testa teaching school for a good thrifty years. He tougjt my whole family at one time or another. Including my Uncle the Late Buck Barret. My two sons expressed deep sorrow for a man who was not only their mentor but he was like a grandfather. We will miss the family dinners and stories of him growing up and his music. To the Valente family you are in our hearts and prayers. Should you need anything...

Dear Mrs Valente and Family,
I was so saddend to hear the news about Mr Valente.
I will always remember him from being such a wonderful neighbor for so many years along with playing the bells in the band to seeing him "scoot" around Price Chopper with a great big smile on his face.If there were more people in this world like Mr. Valente how sweet it would be. He will be missed!

Our condolences to the Valente family. We will forever remember his tireless dedication and love of music.

Our four kids learned more than how to play instruments. They were inspired to be the best they could be in all future endeavors.

On a personal note, it was a pleasure to be his colleague in the Marlborough Schools for many years.

Some of the best times of my life were spent in the band room with Mr. V. I loved every minute of it. He taught us much more than music. He gave us a sense of pride in ourselves and made us feel we could do anything. I was a majorette for 4 years and in the chorus also. We weren't just any high school band, we played for Lyndon Johnson, we played at the New York World's fair, all under the direction of Mr.V. Of all of the happy memories I have of being a student at Marlboro High, being...

To know him was to love him. The Marlborough Panther Marching band from 1983-1986 was a cast of characters. We made some great music, from Pops style, Drum and bugle corps, to top 40 hits. I remember Saturday morning practice on the lower or upper field during football season where we would line up to practice our on field routine for "Land of a thousand dances".
The trips to NYC and Washington DC gave us the band a great chance to get a little culture as well as grow as young adults....
