What a wonderful beautiful man. From the first time I met Kosty he made me feel like one of the family. Not a doubt he left his positive mark with everyone he met, and made the world a better place. Everyone should be so lucky to have such a warm, kind and loving dad and husband. I am so sorry for your loss, but feel like there is a new angel looking out for all of us. Much love to all the family.

Dear Maureen,
I am truly saddened to hear of your recent loss and would like to express my sincere condolences to you and your family on the recent passing of your father. Hopes to you and your family at this most difficult of times.
Even though I did not know you father personally, through meeting you, I can see that you were raised in a loving and warm family. Your personal demeanor and the values you have I know came from the family in which you were raised. I can only imagine how much of an impact your father has had on how compassionate and caring a person you are. With my Sincere Sympathy
Maria Proano
