On July 19, 2015, adored husband and father, Alexander Kostenko Jr., passed away peacefully after a long illness. His wife and daughter were by his side.

Although he was a Dutchess County resident for over 51 years, he was born in Romania on April 18, 1940. He proudly served in the US Marine Corps, and was a graduate of Wentworth College and Marist College. He retired as a Senior Engineer from IBM, and during his 30 year career obtained 22 patents and an OTA. Alex loved to laugh, dance, play tennis and enjoy time with his family and friends.

Alex is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Evelyn; and daughter, Susan. His daughter, Natalie Ann, moved on to the House of the Lord in July 2005. He was predeceased by his father, Alexander Sr. in 1979; and his mother, Antonina, in 2014. He will be greatly missed and will live in our hearts always.
