Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
To Tammi and the kids, my heart goes out to you all. I wish JimBob had been able to overcome his disease. He was a kind and caring man and a good friend. I’m so terribly sorry that he’s passed. .God bless all of you, his family, and know that you’ll be in my heart and in my prayers
Our deepest condolences on Jim’s passing. I will never forget Jim’s smile and sense of humor. I remember laughing ‘alot’ at our parents’ get togethers and the years at A.B.Dick. Rest in peace my friend. Tammi, girls, and the Costello family- please know our prayers are with you during this difficult time. May all be at peace. God bless.
Jim, We knew you well as a kid, and you were always the life of the party. One thing we noticed about you was your ability to make others around you laugh and be happy. Whenever ‘Jimmy’ showed up, it was gonna be a fun time. We lost contact with you over the years, and we’re sorry to hear about your struggles. Rest now, Jim, your suffering is over and join your mom and dad in eternal happiness.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to Jim’s family in their time of sorrow. Our thoughts and prayers are with them for the future.
Jim was one of the few at Office Automation that bid me well when I left the company for another job. He gave me a little cross and said that I had made an impact on his life. I actually feel like Jim has made an impact on my life. I am so sorry to hear about his death. He had a good heart and was very sweet to me and my family. May God bless each of you during this difficult time. Joe Smith
How can I put into a few words how deeply saddened our family finds itself learning of Jim’s death. Too many years of knowing him and loving him almost as a member of our own family makes it almost impossible. Our prayers for the entire Costello family are simple and so very sincere. May you find comfort in knowing Jim is safe and no longer fighting his demons, strength in the love he had for each of us and patience with each other as we struggle with our grief and tears at the loss of a brother and good friend.
Uncle JimBob, I am a better person because I knew you. Your laugh was contagious and will be missed! I love you dearly. Tell Grandma & Grandpa hi for all of us! I will be seeing you. Love, Tiff
My Buddy Jim, I will miss you. You helped me so much at work, taught me so many things about printing and printing presses. You would show me your beautiful wife and girls pictures and tell me how much you loved them. I loved you Costello and I pray that all is well with your soul. I will be seeing you…one fine day… your friend Kelly Ann Cavender
I am so sorry for your loss. My God be with you during this difficult time. Jim is at peace now….
