Following his service during the Korean War, he returned to South Jersey to start his culinary career. His first job was at a major hotel in Atlantic City followed by the Smithville Inn, before starting his on business in Egg Harbor City, Costantini Caterers. He catered many weddings, business luncheons, school lunches and church affairs.
He was a dedicated volunteer at the Bacharach Institute of Rehabilitation and was associated with the Miss America Organization. He was the founding force that led to the Egg Harbor City Historical Society and the Roundhouse Museum.
From the Egg Harbor City Historical Society Roundhouse Museum Dedication Program, dated October 6, 1993:
The Egg Harbor City Historical Society came into existence as the result of a meeting on July 30, 1990, at Constantini Caterers at the corner of St. Louis Avenue and Buerger Street. The meeting was hosted by Tom Costa, whose idea it was that Egg Harbor City needed a historical society.
He will be sadly missed by his family, many friends, and his loyal dog, Queenie.
