Carole & Family: I was very sorry to read about Bill in the paper. He was a boss with fire, passion, and extreme drive. I remember the time his favorite food was fries and hamburger and he fit in with the kids in my classes just great. He was innovative and dedicated to the cause. I am very sorry for your loss. Barb

Dear Mrs. Kozusko, I am so very, very sorry for your loss. I'm so glad I reconnected with Mr. Kozusko years ago. He was a wonderful man. He taught me so much when I worked for him when I was in highschool (could that possibly be 34 years ago!). I have wonderful memories of our lunches and conversations together at your home. Although I can't be with you please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Please express my sympathies to his children too, I never was able to meet them. Again, whenever I think of him, I will always have a smile. Christine Donat Morse

Carole, I want you to know I am here for you, anyway that I can be. I know the distance between us is difficult to let us spend more time together but I want you to know just how much I love you. My heart goes out to you. If you need anything, please let me know. May God Bless you now and forever more. Mike, Annette, Chandler and Seth Nicole and Amy send their condolences also.
