Bucky served his country as a member of the United States Air Force as a flight mechanic. He was an alumnus of Louisiana State University, but due to his father’s untimely death, he came back to Cottonport to run the cotton gin and family farm. He continued farming for 50 years until he retired at the age of 75. His hobbies included hunting and fishing with family and friends. He was also a charter member of Grand Lake Rod and Gun Club where he was able to enjoy his retirement. It was at Grand Lake, Bucky was able to fish everyday and there was not a sac-a-lait that was safe.
Those left to cherish his memory are his sons, Louis K. Coco, Jr. (Linda) and Dwayne B. Coco (Karen); three grandchildren: Cameron Coco, Natalie Mayon, and Joey Coco; and three great-grandchildren: Alex, Micah, and Ellie Mayon.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Betty Ann Coco; parents, Samuel B. and Hattie Mae Smith Coco; siblings, Sam B. Coco, Jr., Diana Zody, and Beverly Brownlee.
