AMBROSE M. COSTA "JR."

Jr., as he was known to many, was a 24/7 Believer and exemplified the following 1 Corinthians verse.
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.
