Joseph J Kostecki

Condolences to the entire Kostecki family upon the passing of an exceptional man. I recall how very fond my parents were of Mr. And Mrs. Kostecki. And I remember how hard Mr. Kostecki worked on the renovation of St. Stanislaus Church in the mid-60´s , often before or after a shift at Weirton Steel. He exemplified selflessness and dedication. He was a role model. Best wishes to the Kostecki family.

Mr. Kostecki will always remain part of cherished childhood memories. What a strong Polish heritage he and Mrs. Kostecki had which flowed out through their family of 7 children. My parents and they were close friends as our family of 9 children mingled with their children. More friendships flourished among us. St. Stanislaus Church was often a gathering place for us...attending Mass and attending Catholic School together until it closed. Many Christmas decorations were put up in the church and many pounds of Polish sausage was made. Again cherished childhood memories which will never be forgotten. Paula, hugs to you my friend. We were the closest and both the baby of the families. Lots in common. Cathy, Judy and Mary, hugs to you as well. Many fond memories of you being friends with my sisters. Julius, Anthony and Joseph, you were friends as well with my brothers and sisters. I am so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Kostecki, oh the memories of you and my Mom. Hugs to you! I am sure my parents welcomed him into Heaven with open arms. I can only imagine the stories they will share! God Bless you all in your time of sorrow.
