hi, i guess this is my old friend John that worked at smith and wesson, Dennis is a friend of mine also, i remember John as a great guy who liked to have fun all the time, we used to meet in the parking lot at S&W and talk on the way in, then he would say lets take the day off and go somewhere no matter where it
was, and he always talked me into doing it, its a good thing we were never fired, i remember hi garage it was always full of beer, he sure loved his beer, when he left S&W i never got to see him again, but every time i rie by his old house i thought of him, he was a great guy and a good friend.condolences to the whole family, he will be missed, i will always remember him and the good times we had together.

I grew up with John and lived across the
street at 31 Hillcrest. I last saw John last year when I stopped and we reminisced about the old
days. My deepest sympathy to his wife Barbara
and her family. RIP my good friend

Most people think all we do is deliver mail everyday but over the years we meet people like John . John wasn't just a customer or someone I said hi to everyday , he was more like family . John was there everyday to greet me in his own special way sitting on the porch with his dog Keiko. I will miss him greatly as will everyone that had the pleasure of meeting and knowing him . My condolences to Barb and the entire Colkos family . RIP John
