My thoughts and prayers to the whole Colpo family at this time of great loss. Mr. Colpo was a great teacher and I have many memories growing up on Bell Ave. of the entire Colpo family. May God watch over his loved ones until they can meet again.

Thanks Jonathan. Dad's basically a Bell Ave lifer

I recall Mr. Colpo fondly as one of my math teachers and HS football coaches. He was a kind man who never got upset or angry at any students or players. My deepest sympathy.

Thanks Chris.
