Jose Colon of Pawtucket passed away peacefully on December 16, 2025, at Philip Hulitar Hope Hospice Center in Providence. Mr. Colon was 85 years old. He was the devoted husband of Carmen Algarino.

Mr. Colon enjoyed people and was a naturally outgoing and happy man. He had a great sense of humor and love traveling, especially going back to Puerto Rico to visit. Food brought joy to Jose, especially his rice and beans and his favorite, Chinese Food. Above all, Mr. Colon's commitment to his family was second to none. He was a devoted husband and father as well as a loving grandfather and great grandfather.
