He enjoyed building and collecting things, working in his garage, playing pool and fishing, and anything nautical. He loved his friends, Blacky his cat, and most of all he loved talking. Joe's memory will be forever cherished in the hearts of his daughter, Christina Costa of Old Saybrook and sister, Mary Linda Costa Garrett of Bloomfield, as well extended family and dear friends.

Cristina, My most sincere condolences to you in this sad time. You don't remember me, my husband and I were friends with your mom and dad back in the day. You were the apple of his eye and his world revolved around you. He was a wonderful man! I hope you feel his love for you always in your heart. Sal and he will have some good pool games in heaven....
