Cosme was a lifelong professional plumber and an avid fisherman.  There was not a stream, river or lake he did not like.  One could always find him at Cochiti Lake.  Cosme played the guitar, he loved music and loved to dance - but he was best known for his chile con queso.  Cosme treasured his big family; 3 children, 6 grandchildren, 10 siblings and a loving wife.  He loved his children; Elizabeth, Daniel and Louis but he adored his grandchildren; Allison, Kayleen, Isabelle, Audrey, Sophia & Ryan.  He always had a smile and a greeting for everyone he encountered whether fishing or at the casino.   He was loved and taken care of by his loving wife Rita.  They were married for 43 years.  Cosme lived a good life and he will be missed.
