He was an Enrolled Agent, worked closely with the National Association of Tax Practitioners, and served and guided people of the community for several decades. Previously, he had worked in the Computer Systems Department at Nestle for many years. Cos enjoyed traveling widely across the country, sharing meals with family and friends, and continuing to learn and advance in his profession.

Cos was a classmate of mine at OCHS, his former wife Claudette a classmate of mine at Holy Family School in Fulton. I remember Cos as a very nice friendly classmate. So sorry for your loss, just wish we could have connected at our 50th reunion the September before the pandemic hit. One less classmate for our next reunion. My husband, Darryl, was a co-worker at Nestles. He spoke well of Cos as well.
I am also an Enrolled agent and had a great respect for Cos and his knowledge of income taxes. He taught many classes over the years. He sure will be missed by our group of tax professionals.
