Dennis Richard 'Rick' Costello
Date de décès : 15 mars 2019
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dennis Richard ‘Rick’ Costello, age 67, on Friday, March 15, 2019, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney.
Born in Sydney, Rick was the son of the late Cyril and Madilyn (Hickey) Costello.
At the age of 16, Rick met the love of his life, Darlene Rankin. They were married for 46 years. Rick had great love and pride for his son, Josh and granddaughter, Bree Johnston.
Rick is survived by his wife, Darlene; son, Josh; granddaughter, Bree; siblings, Barry (Starla) Costello, Sydney River, Debbie (Don) Kyte, Dartmouth, David (Helen) Costello, Coxheath, Diane (Tiree) MacGregor, Halifax, Celeste (Stuart) MacPherson, Dartmouth, and Colleen (Bobby) Dunn, Sydney River; as well as many loving nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents, Rick was predeceased by his brother, Rodger.
Rick was a master carpenter, who learned his trade from his father. In work and in life, Rick believed that if something was worth doing it was worth doing well. He was a quiet man of deep conviction and determination. Rick’s work ethic was matched only by his skill and precision. His quick wit and shy smile will be missed by all his family and friends.
A special thank you to medical staff, family and friends for there love and support throughout the past year and especially to Donna, Celeste and Bernie.
