Mr. Kostigen,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army Air Forces during WW II as a B-24 Liberator crewman and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of your father and offer my condolences to you and your family. Although I never had the opportunity to meet your Father personally, I was glad to have gotten to know him through your shared memories and family stories.
May those memories bring you peace and comfort during this very difficult time. Holding you in my thoughts - Julie

To the Kostigen Family -
My deepest sympathy to all of you. We never went to the Cape without thinking of the Kostigen family. Two years ago, Walter mailed me all the Christams card pictures we had sent of our daughters over the years. I thought that was so sweet of him to take the time to do that and to write a note. It was also something that he and Peg had saved them all those years. Walter and Peg raised a wonderful family. We always enjoyed visiting with them on Aft Road.

Robert....My heart goes out to the entire Kostigen family at this very sad time. Though I never had the very obvious pleasure of meeting Walter, it is evident by these lovely expressions from all that knew him that he was indeed cherished! Peace to you all! Love, Julie

My prayers are with the whole Kostigen family at this time of great loss. I got the pleasure to meet Walter a few times through his granddaughter Cara and the Driscoll family. I did not stop laughing and smiling that whole weekend with him. He was a gentle soul with a wonderful sense of life. I will miss seeing him down the Cape. But like other's have said we know he is with his True Love, Peg.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I think I speak for all of the grandkids when I say that we are all feeling a sudden void in our lives.
As much as I cry when I think about Papa not being with us any more, I smile just as much thinking about him. Watching him with Nana as they jitterbugged across the kitchen, or the 7am wake up calls down the cape (usually with a hammer or lawn mower), remember the "button" on his arm when we pressed it, his ears would wiggle?
I could go on and on about what we've all laughed about and how much we'll miss him. As much as we're all hurting now, I know he's the happiest he's been - with the love of his life, his Peg.
We all love and miss you both.

The one thing you could count on from Walter was his gentle smile. He always lit up the room with it. If he knew you for a lifetime or for just one day he would always give you a smile... that's how we will always remember him. We will miss him. Our hearts are open to the entire family through this very difficult time. We love you!!
