Dear Zella,Bob,Bonnie and family. Sorry to learn of the passing of Joe. It was never often enough that I would run into Joe somewhere and when I did it always made my day brighter.

We both will miss Joe. He was an unusual man. The world was a better place for his kindness to others. Joe was responsible for getting the two of us together and he never let Quent forget it. Zella was the love of his life and never tired of telling it. Rest in peace, Joe.

We too will miss Joe. He was a great man who did so many good deeds for many people, never expecting praise, it was just his good heart. He was responsible for getting us together and loved to remind Quent of the fact. He loved his Zella so much, and rightly so.
Rest in Peace, Joe.

Please know that our thoughts are with your family at this time.

Dear Costa family I am very sorry to here of your loss my heart goes out to.

Joe Costa was the only Boss that I ever had, He called me son and some times he added other words after son. I was pretty wild in my younger age but he was able to tame me and gave me a chance to
succeed in the trucking business.
I will miss you CHIEF.
