Born on September 9, 1934, in Chester, PA, Anthony was a 1952 graduate of Chichester High School, where he proudly played on the football team.

Anthony was a dedicated entrepreneur, owning and operating Tri-Crystal Products in Upper Chichester for more than 55 years.
Anthony found joy in gardening, fishing, traveling and sharing stories from his life. He was never more at peace than in his garden or spending time at his summer home in Cape May, NJ. Above all, he cherished time with his family.
He was an active, long-time member of Concord Lodge No. 625, where he served as Past Master and Trustee for over 50 years.
Anthony will be dearly missed by his children, Donna (Rick White) Costa-White, Lauretta (Dan) O’Malley, Anthony Costa, and Jennifer Costa Wilkins; his grandchildren, Eric (Gracyn) White, Lauren O’Malley, Jacob Wilkins and Valerie Wilkins.
