Hi Ellen,
I remember the Cos from way back in grammar school. He went to St Rose and we hung out as members of the original Cox Gang, but in 7th grade(or maybe 8th?) Cos transferred to Twp. Man things were so different back then. I remember cutting school with Cos and Danny Santoro(he passed) and Cos getting caught. His mom came down the Cox lane and Cos was hiding upstairs in The Barn... It was something out of an Our Gang episode!
We had such an incredible storybook...

Thanks for all the assists. You were a great leader on the court and I'm glad we were friends those early years.

Shawn (Ellen and Mike too), Time and distance means we do not cross paths like we used to, but I can tell you that I hold the Costello family in my good thoughts. I am very sorry to learn about your Father. I have great memories of being a kid, hanging out at your house, with you AND your parents! There was always a bit of honest advice as well as a laugh to be had in your home. I know he was loved and will be missed. Please take care of yourself and each other during this time and times to...

To the Family of Mike Costello
Worked many jobs with Mike during his career as a carpenter in local 393. It saddens me deeply of his passing.
You only meet a few good men in your lifetime and Mike was certainly one of them. My deepest sympathy
