Hi.
I worked with Andrew in the fall of 2005 at First Student. I was a monitor and he was the first driver I ever worked with. He was such a nice man and we got along very well. We often discussed the shows we enjoyed on WGBH (CH2). He will be missed. I extend my sympathy to his entire family.
See you on the other side Andy! Karen

I love you papa. I’ll miss seeing you everyday. It’s been so strange not having you around the past couple days. I don’t think that feeling will ever go away. I will always feel like something is missing every single day. That something will always be you. Thank you for teaching me how to become a man. Than you for not only being my grandfather but also my actual father. Writing this is so surreal to me. You were the strongest person I knew. You still are. You always will be. Still I don’t...

My deepest sympathy to the entire Collaro family. I knew Junie all my life. Those of us from the Shrewsbury Street Neighborhood who knew him that long referred to him as Junie.
He was so kind, caring, and always a pleasure to talk to. He will be missed.
Rest In Peace, my friend.
