Paula, Paul, Phil, Rose, Nick, and, Mrs and Mrs D’Elia. I was very saddened to read this news this morning. I last saw Costa in Aug 2023, it had been many years but it’s like no time had passed at all! He was still joking and goofing off. That day when I left after lunch, I hugged him pretty hard, I didn’t want to let go or cry but it was a tearful drive back up north that day. We spent the summers together, birthdays were days apart, alot of good memories. You guys were like our second family, it was always safe at your place and Costa always had an open door for us. I’m sorry I cannot be there this weekend. My prayers are with you all

Mio caro cugino sei andato via troppo presto..😢 tu che avevi ancora tanto amore da ricevere perché eri una persona buona d’animo.
Sei stato un cugino e un fratello per me.
Sei stato roccia nei momenti difficili.
Sei stato sole perché portavi luce ovunque andavi.
Sei stato un figlio e un fratello amorevole.
Se penso a te penso solo a cose belle perché tu eri bello dentro e fuori.
Tua cara Crocetta ❤️
