Cozy had been out to visit the West Coast and perform at the Loud Music Symposium at Torrance HS. A day or so later (Jul 10, 2006), I picked him up at the train station and we ventured up to drive a bit of the Pacific Coast Highway to soak-up some sun - stopping along the roadside in Malibu to snap a couple of photos of the coastline and this one of him in his favorite hat (with the requisite tail of Kilties' plaid) ....

We had a great afternoon of stories and debate on a number of subjects - from drum corps to diving the Straits of Juan de Fuca to freedom of speech.

Yep - I'll miss him.

Cozy practicing with DCK's hornline at the Nashville show this year.

Cozy warming up with DCK's hornline and the same Nashville show.

It was an honor playing with him at DCA Finals in 07 and at Nashville in 08.

I remember that.I believe Matt Basey was asking Cozy "did I really write that in that octave".To that Cozy had a whimsical comment.

Good times.

I believe Cozy's response was "no", lol.

I managed to find another pic of warm-up:

I believe it was "no, but that's the way I am going to play it."

Good times and thanks for the photos.

This is Cozy at DCI Finals in Bloomington in August 2008. At the time, he was mad as a wet hen because handicap access to the stadium was all fouled up. He was struggling to find a spare golf cart to help any of the folks attending Finals who may need help up the ramps at the stadium to get to their section in the balcony.

This is the last time I saw Cozy. It was after the DCA I&E in Rochester in August 2008. As many of you know, Cozy was always involved with the event, even sometimes stepping up to help a mini corps in need of an extra player. Cozy took the time to visit with us in Star United and delivered the the medals we inadvertantly walked away without requesting. He held an impromptu awards ceremony in a very crowded pub, adding another great memory for all of us.

Godspeed Cozy. Your love for the activity was never in question. You left your mark on a lot of people.

We'll all play a little louder so that you'll be sure to hear us!

Cozy was bouncing off the walls that night. He was working the Mini-Corps competition schedule making sure everything was running smoothly on time and worried about getting in some practice with DCK before they performed. I had been sweating my head off tracking every competing Mini-Corps and keeping them informed when Cozy found time to bring me a cool drink of water.
