I knew Coz for several years as part of the PCMK community and he was such a shining light to all the congregants there. He was the “captain” of my usher team and always made the task of greeting church attendees fun and enjoyable. You could speak to him for a few minute and know he was authentic — a true mensch. My condolences to Grace and the entire family. He will be missed, but his memory will certainly serve as a blessing.

Grace,
We are so sorry for your loss. Cozz was such an integral part of the PCMK Community and he will be missed by all of us. I will remember Cozz as someone who was always ready to pitch in on any project. From serving with him on Session, I know that he especially loved his work at Fellowship Hall and he was an effective advocate for that. He had a great sense of humor and a twinkle in his eye. It just won’t be the same without him. Sending our prayers and hugs to you and your family. I can’t wait to get back to live church and to see you again. Andy Bacon and David O’Hara

You distinguished yourself as a member of our community, a true patriot! A few weeks ago we had a warm and heartfelt conversation, you left us knowing you made a difference!! You will be missed by all that had the pleasure or your friendship. I’m proud to have marched with you, proud to walk in your shadow!

Coz was the sweetest wonderful man, he was the best president of
Fellowship Hall where I live. He came to my husbands funeral in April 2019, which I really thought was special. Miss him already.
