Dearest Dan, My heart is breaking. I will miss you so very much. I'm so glad I was able to bring Max up to make you & mom smile. I hope all your pain is gone and you're reunited with all who you have deeply missed. Much sympathy to all of your family & all the people who's lives you touched. I love you always.

First, my condolences to the Costello family.
Danny had the biggest heart when it came to the dogs and helping people. If he wasn't posting pictures of tow trucks, he was posting pictures of dogs in his travels.
His favorite thing to say was "Forget about it". I'll miss you my friend ❤
Love always and in my heart, Francine

Thinking of all of you at this time, it is never easy. Danny was a terrific and thoughtful gentleman. I hope he is smiling down with dad and they are riding in that wrecker laughing and having a great time. I wish you got to meet our little Jack.
Wishing you all warm thoughts at this time.

Dan I met you 25 years ago. You and your family made me feel comfortable when visiting the house.
You always were someone to depend on.
You’ve helped me several times over the years.

Enjoyed stopping by your dads shop for Saturday pizzas.
The time you went and picked up Jennifer’s go cart for me.

Any problems I had, you listened. I will never forget you. You were one in a million. I was blessed to have known you.

See ya again some day

Dear sweet Danny

My earliest memory of you was when you were around 2 years old. You were the cutest little boy and so quiet and content. You loved playing with trucks and you were so good and all your parents had to do was give you a toy truck and we wouldn’t hear a sound out of you.
Another thing I remember was as you grow older, grandma Swain would always make a batch of fudge just for you before visiting your family in their annual Fall Trip to Conn.
The best thing I know about you, was your goodness and kindness you always shown to your mother. You did so many good things for her and took such good care of her.
Right now you are in Heaven with your mom, dad and Lisa and all your families and friends who have passed. I hope when St Peter met you at the heavenly gate, he had the best tow truck for you to drive.
God Bless you and Rest In Peace dear nephew.
Aunt Jeannie
