Fr. Costello has been a big part of our life. He baptized me in 1984 and my daughter, Amanda, in 1988. He became a part of our family and shared many stories ever since. When I was searching for Christian name just prior to my baptismal, he suggested the name of Gregory as Pope Gregory X was an instrumental person bridging the West and East (I am from Korea) when the Pope Gregory X sent Mongol Great Khan Kublai two friars and some holy lamp oil through Polo brothers in 13th century. My middle name is now Gregory upon Fr. Costello's suggestion.  
We had many family gathering with Fr. Costello and we will cherish this precious memory for many years to com.  Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
