Bosco was employed at Eck Industries in Manitowoc for over 28 years until he retired early due to his illness. Bosco loved his family and never missed an opportunity to spend time with his wife, children, and grandchildren. He considered himself blessed in so many ways and although he had many interests, family was always number one to him. Additionally, Bosco loved sports and always rooted for the Packers, Brewers, Bucks, and Badgers. His favorite sports to watch though, were the ones his granddaughters were playing in! He was also an avid reader, history buff, and lately found enjoyment watching his favorite TV shows, even his daily soap operas. Bosco loved to spend time outdoors in his gazebo and cherished the memorable times spent camping with his family, especially at Shawano Lake.
