HOPEWELL JUNCTION - Frank DiCostanzo, 93, a resident of Hopewell Junction since 1960, died peacefully at home on January 20, 2022. He previously lived in the Bronx.

Frank was born in the south Bronx on October 3, 1928 where, as a boy, he worked in his father's shoemaking store. After leaving home, he joined the service and served during WWII. After the war, he built a career as a successful hairdresser — first in New York City and later in Yorktown Heights, Poughkeepsie and then Hopewell. Later in life, after selling his salon business, he opened a small barber shop in Poughquag where he spent time sharing stories with his "regulars." He will be remembered as a hardworking man who loved his family, his vegetable garden and his home in Hopewell.

He is also survived by his son, Frank DiCostanzo and his wife Andrea of Syosset; his grandchildren, Caroline DiCostanzo and Matthew DiCostanzo, both of Syosset; and his sister, Mary Betz of West Pittston, PA.
