I just wanted to share with kolly's family how much I liked and respected him. He was a mentor to myself when I was a new guy. You could talk with him and he would always take the time to explain why things were done the way they were. I will always respect him and be thankful for the time spent working together on the fire department.

I always enjoyed the time I got to spend with Kolon. We had a lot of fun while we checked the fire hydrants,(when we were both on light duty). He was a great firefighter one you didn't worry about him having your back, regardless whatever happened. RIP.
Pat and family I'm sorry for your loss your in our prayers.
