Cory Nick Cozza (1957 - 1993)

Cory Nick Cozza, age 35, died at home January 12, 1993 after a long illness. Cory was born July 3, 1957 [in Salt Lake City] and adopted by his grandparents, Nick and Thora Cozza. He graduated from Gem State Academy in Caldwell, Id. He had worked for his Dad as a butcher at Cozza Market.

He is survived by his father, Nick, who always loved and looked out for Cory. Other survivors include his mother, sisters, brother, three nephews, two nieces, and special friend and companion Kenn Shosted.

Cory also leaves behind an extended family of friends that he held dear and that loved him. Cory had a love for life that, if given half a chance, he would share with you. His untimely death leaves us broken hearted but happier for having known him.

Special thanks to Dr. Kristen Ries and Maggie Snyder who always gave special attention and care to Cory. Thanks to the Med III staff at Holy Cross Hospital and to family and friends who comforted and cared for him during his illness.
