I have known Dick Castello for many years. He was our church custodian for many years and we gave him a bag of birdseed when he retired because he loved seeing the birds come to the bird feeder. A short while later he came out of retirement to continue his job as custodian. He was a good man and Christian who did his job without complaint but was smiling all the time. My sincere condolences to the family.

Pauline,Larry,Pat and family, So sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of my childhood that include Mr. and Mrs Costello. Always working either at the school or in their yard up by the school. Mrs. Costello made the best johnny marzetti and Dick was so kind and quiet as he did his janitorial duties. They both always had time for you. They are together now and at peace. You and your familys are in my prayers. God Bless
