Wow, I just found out a couple days ago. The Costello family has my heartfelt sympathy and my prayers will be with all of you. The first thing I thought about was the Christmas Eves in the Costello basement. Those are some great memories. Wisconsin Weekends were always a lot a fun - Sluggo's especially. Hold those memories close especially during this Christmas season. I am so sorry. Love to all.

Dear Costello Family,

We were truly shocked when Mick got the phone call. We have so many fond memories of Bob(a.k.a. Hollywood)and the boys from our days in Wi.When Bob tried to teach our Britney how to water ski and she could not do it, Bobby told her thank goodness you are cute because she sure can't water ski. Our love and prayers will always be with you.

Love,

Mick,Traci,Ashlee,Michael and Britney Jones

Bob was a bear of a man -- big, strong, and full of life. He was quick to speak his mind, and quicker to share a laugh. A wizard at the barbeque grill and a master of mixed drinks, Bob was a welcome addition to any party. He was a tough guy who also dearly loved his kids, and was as proud as any dad could be. He left us far, far too soon. Our prayers go out to Tami, Bobby, Michael, and the rest of the family. Bob was a great guy, and he will be sorely missed.

Dear Costello Family:



Bob was a terrific man, friend and neighbor. He will be missed by a lot of people. I can't remember living on Princeton without him being my neighbor, and he was a great one. I am sorry for your loss, and I will keep you in my prayers so you can get through this very sad time in your lives. We all have fond memories of Bob, and sometimes that helps us through the rough times.



Once again, I am sorry for your loss.
