Across the state of Oklahoma, people that knew Mark Costello, the Oklahoma Labor Commissioner, are remembering him in a number of different ways. Costello was born in Bartlesville and graduated at what was, in 1974, College High School. Grace Farmer, 1st Congressional District GOP Chair, which includes Washington County, said a memorial fund has been set up in Costello's name.

A candlelight vigil is scheduled on the south steps of the State Capitol at 7 P.M. on Thursday. The 59-year-old died Sunday night after police say his 26-year-old son Christian, pulled out a knife, stabbing his father multiple times at an Oklahoma City restaurant. Christian Costello is being held in the Oklahoma County Jail without bond on charges of first-degree murder.
