In memory of Vincent John Costello

I am sad to announce a client and dear friend, Vinnie Costello, passed away.  He is survived by his wife Margaret, 10 children (Vincent, Debbie, Patricia, Michael, Laura, Tim, Daniel, Jaime, Joseph and Robert) and 25 grandchildren.  Dating back to 1973, when he opened his first hardware store, Vinnie Costello had a desire to expand his business. I don't think he realized, at that time, he would build an empire.  Through hard work and perserverance, Vinnie Costello expanded Costello's ACE Hardware to 25 stores from Long Island into New Jersey and employs up to 600 people.  Vinnie is successful in many ways.  He knows how to pay it forward.  He has been involved in several charitable events.  Vinnie was named Man of the Year by the Nesconset Chamber of Commerce for his years of dedicated community service.  I am proud to say I have known and worked with Vinnie Costello and his family for over 10 years.  Rest in peace Vinnie you made your mark in this world and have touched many lives.  You will be missed!
