James Costanza Obituary
James V. “Jimbo” Costanza, age 68, of Ross Twp. passed away peacefully in his sleep at home on Thursday, September 11, 2025. Beloved friend of 40 years to Edie Haughton; dear brother of Jeannie (Mike) Lape and Martin (Denise) Costanza Sr.; also survived by many loving cousins and friends; preceded in death by his parents James and Ruth and cherished family dog Millie. Jim truly enjoyed his time during his career as a lineman at Duquesne Light. Among one of his greatest passions was spelunking in Laurel Caverns and Mammoth Cave and being certified in cave rescue. His second home was his garage which was full of cars, motorcycles and stuff. And we loved him. No Visitation. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Arrangements made by the Bock Funeral Home, Ltd., Glenshaw.
