Personal note

We're holding a laid-back celebration of life for one James Urban "Jim/Urb/Maurice" Costello. Please come and share your memories of him as we say goodbye and cherish the time we had together!

The April 20th venue: The Veterans Memorial Building in Paso Robles
The May 11th venue: The Dye House at the Willamette Heritage Center

Dress-code: As dressy or casual as you'd like (no birthday suits though, sorry!). Feel free to break out your favorite pair of Vans, or even a fedora, flat cap, or beret.

Food: We will provide sandwiches and other snacks. In proper JUC fashion, we will provide Dr. Pepper and coffee among the beverages.

**IMPORTANT INFORMATION**
Please RSVP no later than Monday, April 8th for the Paso event. Additionally, we will be holding another get-together in Salem, OR on May 11th for some of the locals up here. If that date and location is more available to you, the RSVP for that event is located further down on the page (please RSVP no later than Friday, April 26th)!

Dad still appreciated hard copies in a digital world, so if you would like a physical announcement, please privately message me (Rebecca Costello) or email me (craklyn4@gmail.com) your mailing address so I can send one to you.

Thank you so much to everyone visiting this page. We would love to have you share your favorite memories of him on this website.

Update from May 13, 2024

Hi all!

Now that the dust has settled a little bit, it occurs to me that I took no pictures, just a couple of videos. If anyone would like to share photos or videos they took, feel free to share here!

I also have video files of the slideshow and the Jeopardy episode, so if anyone would like copies of those I should be able to email it to you if you want. Additionally, for anyone who missed providing their mailing address in the memorial book, I'd love to mail you a proper thank you note if you're comfortable with privately messaging me your address!

Thanks again, everyone. We appreciate you all!
