Not sure what to say?

Dear Cosgrove Family, This is a "lot" and so late (18 years!) but I worked for Dennis Uniform Manufacturing in the 1970´s. Dick was the boss. We spent many hours inventorying the shirts, skirts, culotte´s and corduroy pants (!!!) in the loft of the building on Valencia. I was on the Bart train everyday after school (from Riordan) making sure I got a couple of hours stocking the shelves and crawling in that warm (!) loft trying to find 30 x 28 salt and pepper cords, etc. while the ladies...

To all the family - Ed and I think of all of you and especially Dick everyday. I loved your dad so much and I know that he is certainly missed by all of you. We remember the first time we met all of you when you had a slumber party at your parents house in Blairsden. You are all very special and I know that Doreen is now in terrific hands.

Mr. Cosgrove,

I will miss your wonderful sense of humor and spending time with you and Andy on the golf course. To this day I still move the tee box markers and smile when I think about you teaching me that cheat, I mean trick. You were like a father to me and I loved you with all my heart. We miss you so very much.
Love, The Nagles

Dear Andrea,
Your brother, Dick, was one of my brother's best friends in high school. My brother's name was Bob Cree. Of course, I remember the Cosgrove family from my time at St. Cyril's and HNC. Cathy Mead is my best friend. Andrea, I am so sorry to hear of your brother's passing. Cathy would always talk about Dick and Doreen. I haven't seen you for many years but always remember the good times that we had. So please accept my deepest sympathy.
Sincerely, Kathi Cummings-Jordan

We shall always remember the great times spent with Dick and Dorene, our next door neighbors on Brighton Avenue for 10 years. As times goes by we sometimes don't see each other often,keeping in touch by phone or Christmas cards. It is hard to say goodby to such a great neighbor and friend. Our prayers are with Dorene, all the children and family.

I knew the Cosgrove family from my
childhood. We were neighbors and also attended St Cyril's together. Dick was one of my cousin, Bob Cree's friend. Blessings for his family.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

Dick - thanks for being a friend and confidant during our few years in Graeagle. You will be missed terribly by Ed and I. Our love and thoughts are with all of you who Dick has left behind. We love you.

Andy and Julie:

We want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
