Alexander Kostenko Obituary
Kostenko, Jr.
East Fishkill - On July 19, 2015, adored husband and father, Alexander Kostenko Jr., passed away peacefully after a long illness. His wife and daughter were by his side.
Although he was a Dutchess County resident for over 51 years, he was born in Romania on April 18, 1940. He proudly served in the US Marine Corps, and was a graduate of Wentworth College and Marist College. He retired as a Senior Engineer from IBM, and during his 30 year career obtained 22 patents and an OTA. Alex loved to laugh, dance, play tennis and enjoy time with his family and friends.
Alex is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Evelyn; and daughter, Susan. His daughter, Natalie Ann, moved on to the House of the Lord in July 2005. He was predeceased by his father, Alexander Sr. in 1979; and his mother, Antonina, in 2014. He will be greatly missed and will live in our hearts always.
Calling hours will be held on Tuesday from 9-11am at the McHoul Funeral Home, Inc., 895 Route 82, Hopewell Junction and from 12-1pm at St. Gregory's Orthodox Church, 1500 Route 376, Wappingers Falls. The service will be at 1pm and interment with military honors will follow at Fishkill Rural Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Natalie Kostenko Fund for Children with Special Needs (please make checks payable to St. Gregory's Orthodox Church - The Natalie Kostenko Fund) or the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Evelyn and Susan, It has been so long since I've seen Alex, now I will not be able to enjoy his company again. You always think there's plenty of time, that you'll get together again and then poof, they're gone. My deepest sympathy to you.

So sorry for your loss, Evelyn and Susan. Alex is in a better place. You were marvelous in the fabulous care you gave him. We're at Mirabella so we won't be at the services this week. Will pray for all of you
