In Loving Memory of

John L. Cosby

Obituary

John Cosby, 72, beloved husband of Linda. Loving father of Rebecca, Jennifer (Adam) Thanos, Alan and David (Jenna). Adored grandfather of Ava and A.J. Dear brother-in-law to Bonnie Lucas and Stuart Sondheimer and Mark and Helene Rubert. Cherished son of Dorothy Kaliski and Virgil Cosby and cherished stepson of Lou Kaliski. After a 35-year plus career with 3M, John retired in 2011 to spend time with his family, play golf and watch the Cubs. He was able to realize two of his life-long dreams - witnessing the Cubs' World Series win from box seats in Cleveland and hitting a hole-in-one in 2019.
