Deb and family: Sorry I could not be there for you guys. Darrell and I were "growing-up" pals (along with Dave K., Harrison, Steve O, Steve P. etc.). When you lose a special person that you went through all those wonderful years with-it's shocking. I have nothing but great memories of my years with Darrell and I am sure I will see him again in a better place.

To all of the McCosco families,
Darrell/Bozo will always be one of us. He was a good friend who never stopped being one. He was my "trumpet buddy" for many years. He will be missed.
