Robert “Bob” Costello was a true gentleman, a good friend and much respected former colleague.
We shared many professional adventures and his common sense, good humour and ability to interact productively with people from virtually any culture or background proved invaluable again and again and again.
Rest in peace Bob… gone but never forgotten. Sue and Neil Fergus

It is with a heavy heart we farewell Bob – such a wonderful person who always had a twinkle in his eye, and a quick quip to make, no matter what the circumstance. Such a pleasure to have known him. Our thoughts are with his family. xx
Wendy Frye Collier
I had the absolute pleasure of knowing Bob from the night he first met his soul mate Lorraine. He was such a good friend. So many happy times shared over the years. I remember the road trip he and I did from the farm to Sydney many years ago. We laughed the whole way. He was a wonderful father to his 3 gorgeous girls and an amazing grandfather to his 4 grandchildren. Honey you leave a huge hole in so many lives. Back in the arms of his beloved Lorraine. ❤️ Wendy and Geoff.

A moving service that honoured two remarkable people. Are lives are richer from knowing Bob and Lorraine.
Bob worked tirelessly to make the world a better place. He was loyal, caring, enthusiastic and funny. We loved his laugh/ giggle.
We will miss his brilliant mind and our long conversations.
Rest in peace Bob.
