Marty will be missed by so many. His legacy will live on through the hearts and minds he touched over the years in the rinks. He will continue to touch people through his sons who will pass on their love of sports and coaching that were instilled in them. Please stay strong and know that marty has touched so many as a positive role model for all of us to be more supportive parents.

To the Costanza family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. "Mr.C." touched many lives and will remain in our hearts forever. The kids took the news hard ... he was like everyones hockey grandpa. They have so many fond memories everything from seeing his face at all the hockey tournaments to watching him bowl his 300 game. He was the type of parent we all aim to be like. Mr.C had a strong love for his family and a glow when he talked about his boys. Games will not be the same without him. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.



Our deepest sympathies,

Angie,Little Darrin,Lauren and Brandon Eguchi
