Mike and I began working together as starters at Kenwood on the very same day, August 16th, 2008.  I always looked forward to seeing and talking with  Mike over the ten years we worked together in the golf shop and in the starters booth.  I would never walked away without a smile after being around him.  He was so easy to talk to and made everyone around him feel so comfortable and upbeat.  If you ever needed a helping hand, Mike was there.
  
I did made Mike very jealous about 3 years ago when, through pure chance,  I got the opportunity to play a round of golf with Mike "Fluff" Cowen, Jim Furyk's current  caddie and former caddie of Tiger Woods at Northwest Park Golf Course in Silver Spring.  I immediately texted Mike when I realized who I was being paired up with and as you can imagine he was beside himself!     Unfortunately he was working in the golf shop at Kenwood  that day.  I wish there was some way he could have joined me.   It would have been one of the highlights of his life!     

I was so saddened and shocked to hear of the passing of Mike when I returned to work at Kenwood this year.  He was one of the nicest human beings that I have ever met.   We were all very lucky to know him.   My thoughts and prayers go out to the Costello family. 

To all the family of Mike,  my sincere condolences on his untimely death,   I was a friend of Mike and Francesca,  the last time I saw him he always had time to listen to anyone in crisis and despair , he was a good soul,  he will be missed,  may God and his angels impart peace, comfort and faith knowing that Mike is in a better place now,  much love and light 

Whether on the golf course or in the dining room Mike ‘s upbeat attitude and kind attention added to our pleasure when enjoying Kenwood’s links or a meal. John and I, our kids, grandkids and guests always thought of Mike as one of the club’s assets reflecting the friendliness of a family club.  He was missed when he left. Our condolences to his beloved family. We’ll drink a toast to a really great soul.

Our thoughts, prayers and heartfelt sympathy are with you for the loss of your beloved Michael.  May God bless the Costello family with enduring faith, love and peace during this difficult time and always.  With all our love,
The Pasqual Family from SCL

I met Mike around 2007.  He was going through a rough time, but had the determination to overcome it.  He apparently did.  He was a very honorable man.  He used his life experiences to help others and would freely share with them about his path. I am very saddened to hear about his passing.  My condolences to his family and friends.  May peace be with Mike and all who knew him. Godspeed Mike.

I am writing this on behalf of my entire "Stewart" family.  We were all so sorry to hear of Michael's passing and wanted to extend our sincere sympathies and to let you know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.  The Stewart and Costello parents have been friends for a long time so this hits close to home.  We hope the memories and love that you share with each other helps.  I'm sure my dad will greet him with open arms!


Whether you were in the grill or at the starters booth no one made you more welcome than Mike. With a wry smile and a wicked sense of humor we touched on all the topical events of the day. My prayers and blessings go out to  all Mike’s family. You will be truly missed my friend. Chris and Jean Fowler

To all that knew Mike,  but especially to his parents, Jane and Jerry, his sons Grant and Joey, and to Francesca...I did not know any of you, but I can tell you we sure knew Mike at Kenwood .  I can never remember a time when Mike did not have a smile on his face and he had such a way of always putting one on mine as well.  Always in such a wonderful, positive mood, and always selflessly asking how I was doing.  I can’t imagine what a difficult, tragic loss this is for each of you, but try to take comfort in what an amazing person he was and the wonderful joy he brought to us here at Kenwood.  I’m so happy to call Mike “friend”.  Our sincere condolences to each of you. 

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of my friend Mike Costello, when I hired him as a starter I had no idea what a valued employee he would become. Always a gentleman with a easy to like personality, he quickly made Kenwood home and became friends with so many Members. 
He had a knack for bringing out a smile from most every contact. RIP

 I was very saddened to hear the news of Mike's passing. "Mikey"the way I used to call him, was a very kind and affable person  always in a good mood and willing to accommodate at the golf starting booth.  He displayed exactly same attitude at the restaurant which made dining by far more pleasurable.  My condolences go to the entire Costello family. 

I am so sorry to hear this sad news.  As a golfer at Kenwood, I always appreciated Mike’s good humor and friendly greetings.  He was a great person.  He will no doubt  be missed by everyone who knew him.  

Mike made even the worst round at Kenwood feel like joy. He was a wonderful man and a great friend. I am so sorry beyond words.  Chris Core. 

There are some people who you can not see for a long time but when they are mentioned or a story comes up about those High School days, you can recall in an instant - not only  remembering who they were but how they were. Mike Costello is one of those people. The moment I heard of this sad news I recalled Mike so very clearly - Kind, Fun, Funny- someone who didn't just pass by with a hello in the halls of DePaul but stopped to talk. Maybe it was because our Dad's were friends and we felt like family once removed or maybe it was that and simply who Mike was - even as a teenager - someone who valued those small moments and  took the time to make someone laugh or talk about a trouble. He made a difference and it sounds like he made a difference for many his whole life. I can't think of Mike without smiling and I'm grateful to him for the many times he stopped in the hallway of DePaul. Sometimes those talks had a bigger grounding impact then he could have  known . My greatest sympathy to his family and in particular his dear parents Mr. & Mrs. Costello. Rest In Peace my Friend.
