Matt Cozzolino (Son)
I will always be thankful for the lessons I learned. Dad taught me how to work on pretty much anything. Because of him I'm comfortable taking just about anything apart. There's so many seemingly simple things that I see many people take for granted. Because of him I'm able to take on the world and make it a better place.
Mike Cozzolino (Son)
The drive to work hard and succeed, no matter how hard the job. I always measured myself to Dad and tried to work as much as him. This instilled the work ethic I have had and the desire to always do better, and made me the man I am today. Thank you Dad! I love and miss you. It is hard not to be sad, but Dad always said he wanted no one to feel sadness on his passing.
Some things I will always remember:
Hamburgers with pickles and onions.
Yes and no sir.
Judo, and all that goes with it…
