Tribute to my Father

This is a personal tribute slideshow for my family members for my father, Dick Costello, who died before his time of a stroke.
The song is Run, by Snow Patrol. I think you can tell what a great man he was just by looking at these family photos.

Richard Gray Costello, 1938-2009

Bill - I read the article about your BMW in Motorcycle Classics and just now viewed your videos. I lost my dad in 1980 and there isn't a day that I don't think of him. He also had a stroke and was 71 when he passed. Your tributes are very moving and I can see you were a very close family.

@twb930s Thanks for posting. I am glad you enjoyed my slideshows. Needless to say, you and I probably have a lot in common only you lost your father over 30 years ago and I lost mine less than 2 years ago.

A beautifully crafted tribute - I think your Dad would have been proud :)

I hope you don't mind someone commenting who knows neither you nor your father but has been touched by the feelings...

@nstaib I don't mind at all. In fact all the people who comment are strangers who are able to relate to my family photos even though they don't know me or my family. Thanks for the kind words.

If anyone wanted to know the definition of a family, I would show them this video. Absolutely beautiful tribute, not only to your father, but to all of you who loved him and who he clearly so dearly in return.

Thank you for this! My dad who died when I was 18 was of the same generation as your dad (born in the 30's). I miss him almost every day. We won't see men like this again.
