Donald Cotey Obituary

Of Sussex, age 82. Found peace Thursday, April 20, 2006. Beloved husband of the late Adelaide. Loving father of Mary, Paul (Roberta), Tom, Jim (Ingrid), Peter (Marylou), Sue (Dennis) and Don (Chris) Cotey. Fond grandpa of Matt, Laura, Brian, Andrew, Melissa, Jennifer, Jonathon Abner and Trey. Brother of the late Arnold, John, Jane, Rita, the late Roger, Nancy, Ruth Ann and Kathleen. Further survived by other relatives and friends.

Funeral Service Tuesday, April 25th 9:15 AM from the Funeral Home to St. James Catholic Church, W220 N6588 Town Line Road, Menomonee Falls to celebrate a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 AM. Burial to follow at Holy Cross Cemetery. Visitation Monday, April 24th from 4-7 PM AT THE FUNERAL HOME. In lieu of flowers, memorials are appreciated to St. James Church or to the Salvatorian Order.

Dad "Don" was an inspiration in the way he lived his life. His 16-year battle with Parkinson's Disease showed the strength of character he displayed as a loving husband and father of 7 as well as a caring dentist for 40 years in Sussex. He's finally found peace with God our Father in Heaven.
