Frank J. Agostino passed away on January 8, 2022 at the age of 71 after a long, courageous battle with cancer.

Born in Marina Di Gioiosa Ionica, Reggio Calabria, Italy in 1950, he came to America with his parents, the late Raffaele and Rose Agostino, at the age of 5, when they settled in Hingham, MA, joining his beloved grandmother, the late Nancy Luca, and her family. Always the outgoing and affable person, he assimilated into American culture through sports, and spoke fondly of playing with the neighborhood kids at the playground just down the street from his childhood home.

He played high school baseball and hockey for Hingham High, but he found his true passion when he took up caddying at Cohasset Golf Club and discovered a love for the game of golf. He excelled at the game, playing at the collegiate level at UMass Amherst, holding a single digit handicap throughout his life, earning the nickname “Crushington”, winning countless tournaments, and bringing people together through leagues, trips, or friendly matches. He joined Cohasset Golf Club as a member in 1975 and Wollaston Golf Club in 1987, establishing enough friendships and memories to last several lifetimes, while amassing enough gold leafing to fill a vault.

Professionally, Frank spent time as an engineer at Stone & Webster, where he traveled throughout the US and spent two years in Algeria building power plants. With family on the horizon, Frank joined and then became owner of The Cousins Construction Co. Inc., where he loyally and dutifully served clients, employees, friends, and family alike for more than four decades. Family was the most important thing to Frank, who he loved and supported with all his heart. He was always there to put a smile on your face, pick you up when you were down, or share one of his unforgettable belly laughs.

Frank is survived by his loving wife of 43 years, Diane DiTullio Agostino, of Milton; his son and daughter-in-law Christopher Agostino and Giovanna Leddy, of Boston; his son and daughter-in-law John and Cate Agostino and two grandchildren, Conor and Cameran, of Milton; and his daughter and son-in-law Emily and Kevin Daly and granddaughter, Kira, of West Roxbury. He is also survived by his brother Joseph Agostino of Hingham, his sister Maria Qualtieri, of Hingham, and many brothers and sisters-in-law, as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
