My deepest condolences on the passing of Mr. Costen. I have so many fond memories of Mr. Costen and the entire Costen family.

A few more things dad. I want you to know that I loved you and that you were the best father in the world! You were a great role model for me. Your family and friends will miss your presence so much. Our hearts ache without you. From your youngest daughter who was your caregiver.

To the entire Costen family,I am deeplly sorry for your loss. You are wonderful people,and I pray that God will comfort you. I still have a bible that your dad gave me in 1977 that he signed the inside cover.God bless you all. Cynthia (Leiby) Mollohan.

Karen, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. I hope your memories of him help you through this difficult time. Your dad sounds like he was a very active man and will be greatly missed. Thank you for all that you do for my mom, Anita before and after my loss of my own dad this past November. My thoughts are with you and your family. Please let me know if I can help in any way.

I miss you dad so much.I had a wonderful childhood because I had a great father that raised me. You were always so fun to be with, always telling jokes, and in a good mood! You were so good to your family. I have great memories about the nice vacations you took us on. My favorite ones were to Marco Island and St. Petersburg in Florida. We also had good times at Camp Whitewood. My heart has an empty space in it because you are gone. R.I.P. dad, love ya.

I loved to hear the stories from when you and my dad went to South High and how blessed to have known you, at Stow. You made a difference. On behalf of the Menhorn family, our deepest sympathies. RIP Mr. Costen.
