Alex Kosick, 75 of Glace Bay passed away Saturday April 8, 2017, at the Glace Bay Hospital. Born in Glace Bay, NS, he was the son of Antonina Drabek and John Kosick. Alex was an outdoorsman. If he wasn’t fishing or hunting, he was loading up the van with kids and family heading to the country. He was often found singing and playing guitar. For over 30 years he played hockey wearing his signature red helmet. His outgoing personality was matched by his contagious smile and sense of humor. His compassionate and generous manner made you feel welcome and at ease.
He is survived by his loving wife, Rose (Campbell); daughter, Corinna and son in law, Cory Murrant; two special special grandchildren, Brenna and Tylan; brothers, Fred (Nancy) and Stevie (Lois); sisters, Helen MacLean and Olga (Andy) Sader and many wonderful nieces and nephews.
