PETER COSTAS Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Apr. 28 to Apr. 29, 2020.
COSTAS, Peter E. Age 58, of Brockton, died peacefully on April 26, 2020 at St. Anne's Hospital, Fall River. Peter was the son of George and Ruth (Olson) Costas; brother of George Thomas Costas and his wife Anne Marie of Kingston; uncle of Jessica Costas; nephew of Helen Costas and Teddy Costas; and a cousin of many. Peter was born in Oceanside, California in 1961 and lived in many states, as his father was in the U.S. Marine Corps. Peter attended Brockton Public School's special education programs, graduating from Brockton High School. In recent years, he lived in four group homes under the auspices of SRS. He leaves behind many friends from schools he attended and group homes he resided in. His trademark was his "ever loving smile," despite his many disabilities. His family is most grateful for the outstanding care he received from the staff at his group homes. Private family funeral. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Greek Orthodox Annunciation Church, 457 Oak St., Brockton, MA 02301 or S.R.S. Parents Association, 152 Campanelli Dr., Middleboro, MA 02346.

To the dear Costas family. The greatest ray of sunshine ever! Peter was one of my most loved and favorite students of all times. He never had a bad day and laughed and smiled at everything we did at the Arnone School. And his wonderful attitude came from the extraordinary love, care and support that your exceptional family gave to him and all of his friends and teachers. As the poet James Joyce wrote "they lived and laughed and loved and left." And the world will never be the same. My deepest sympathy to you all. Gerry Osborne

To the Costas Family:
Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. I worked with Peter at BHS with Elaine. Peter's smile would brighten the worst of any one's day. His smile was so great, and I am sure it will be missed.

Peter was my Buddy at Dr Weinstein's office. He would come in with his head down but as soon as I called his name, he would look at me and say Hello. When I would ask him if he knew me and would become all smiles and start saying Yes. We would have some very interesting conversations. Regards family and friends! I am so sorry for his loss:(
