and later a Detective for The Office of the Norfolk Commonwealth's Attorney. He 
successfully opened a Polygraph & Bail Bonding business after leaving the City of 
Norfolk, and retired in 1984. Forever a loving Father, Grandfather, & Great 
Grandfather, he is survived by his children, Gail Kosmas, New Smyrna Beach, FL,
