I was saddened to hear the news of my cousin John’s passing. He was family, friend, neighbor and an influence in my life as a young boy. May you rest in peace and give my mother a kiss on the cheek for me.

Dear Colpo Family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Mr. Colpo was a great blessing to me in high school. He was brilliant and funny. He always encouraged me to work harder and never settle for a “cheap approximation”. Because of him, after high school, I pursued a math degree. I will remember him fondly and with gratitude always. May God comfort you and may he replace your tears of sorrow with smiles of joy in the days ahead! With love, Margaret (BHS Class of 1996)

Thanks Margaret. I went Math too in college.

Frank and Diane Karch

Our deepest condolences to the family.

Thanks Frank and Diane
