COSMO A. GIANCOLA West Richland Einans Funeral Home Cosmo A. Giancola passed away May 27, 2004, following a bout with Cancer.
He was born October 4, 1929 in New Castle, Pennsylvania.
After growing up in Ellwood City, PA with his parents, Clemente and Anna Giancola, he married his high-school sweetheart, proudly served in the US Marine Corps, began his family, and relocated to California.
His love of woodworking evolved into a family operated business which provided a livelihood not only for his family but for many others as well. He received great joy in providing many young men with the knowledge and skill to become a craftsman.
Cosmo's enthusiastic spirit continued in every aspect of his life. He excelled at all he attempted. He enjoyed working in his shop and was a ''Hole-In-One'' golfer.
As a resident of Washington for approximately 8 years, he continued to assist many with their woodworking and building projects through Lowes Home Improvement Center.
Many thanks go out to the people at Lowes for their continued support.
He was a member of Christ the King Parish in Richland, WA.
His family and friends will miss him greatly.
Cosmo is survived by his wife of 54 years, Rose Giancola of West Richland, WA.; son, David Giancola and wife, LoraLee of West Richland, WA; daughter, Karen Helmick and husband, Charles of Pinehurst, ID; son, Mark Giancola and wife, Chela of Mexico City, Mexico; daughter, Terri Rawlins and husband, Bruce of Richland, WA; 11 Grandchildren; 7 Great-Grandchildren; and brothers, Norman Giancola and Clem Giancola. He was preceded in death by his father Clemente, his mother Anna, and his brother Pete.
Services will begin with the family receiving friends at Einans Funeral Home Sunday, May 30th 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. The Mass of Christian Burial will be at Christ the King Catholic Church on Monday, May 31st 11:00 a.m. A private graveside service will be held in Sunset Memorial Gardens.
