George KOSAN

Oh my God i just got this urge to call Mr. Kosan and when it didn't go thru i Googled. I'm really sad to read of his passing. He was a special person in deed. I took care of him in Solaris. George loved life... and music. He had me learning music I'd never heard of, just so i could sing it to him. How are things in Glocca Morra... Frank Sinatra Carolina... Nat King Cole Monalisa... I loved George. I was in nursing school and he was like a wind fanning my wings. George was brilliant......

I knew he was special the first time I saw him. It was 1953. He was standing beside his classroom door at what was then Pinecrest High School. He spoke to each student and told them to "find a seat and no talking." He was the seventh grade homeroom teacher and everyone's mathematics teacher--grades seven thru twelve.

George was Ike´s roommate one time at Solaris Healthcare. They both enjoyed each others company. We enjoyed George´s storytelling about his life. He raised a beautiful close knit family. He´d been in my prayers & on my heart(Lorraine) for early 2 months. But due to own health issues I couldn´t locate either of them. Our condolences to each of the family. Hugs to Betty Jo. Wish we´d seen this earlier. Love & Prayers.

I will always remember George from my 11 years as a member of the Presbyterian Church of Seffner. I enjoyed my time when George, Henry, Don Thatcher and myself would gather out in the church parking lot. Close to the steps until the bell would ring to let us know the service is about to start. Remember him as such a nice man. A very good, good man. We would sit together to watch the Seffner Presbyterian Church SouperBowl flag football game. After my wife and I went back to our home church...

Dear Rick and family, Heartfelt sympathy to all of you and loved ones at the loss of your dad. Am sure he was a remarkable man who passed his fine qualities to his children. May he rest in Peace in his Heavenly Home.
