Mosco was a hardworking man who found joy in the simple things in life. He loved to dance no matter the music, if it was playing, he was moving. He also enjoyed playing dominoes, sharing laughter, stories, and a little friendly competition with family and friends.

More than anything, Mosco loved his family. He cherished every moment spent with his grandchildren, who meant the world to him.
