What a horriable tragedy! I know how fast your life can change. I ‘m so sorry for your loss and will be praying for your family.
I was incredibly saddened to hear of Tom’s passing. I and many others were inspired by his spirit and never-ending optimism. My deepest condolences to Linda, and all Tom’s wonderful family. You all left a lasting impression on not only myself, but everyone who had the pleasure of interacting with Tom. My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family during this incredibly difficult time. I’m glad to have had the pleasure of meeting Tom, and your family, and I will forever remember his incredible attitude. What a wonderful man. God bless you all.

I had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Costello as I work at the condo that Mr. and Mrs. Costello own on Maui. He was a genuine person and will be missed here at The Whaler. We all will be praying for Mrs. Costello and their family.
We had the pleasure of being friends with Tom and Linda since High School. We double-dated throughout high school almost every weekend. Tom was a very unique individual and always made us laugh. We are heartbroken. We are praying for Linda and her family. We will never forget Tom……
