William Hagerup Collisi

Thoughts and prayers to the Collisi family, our dad served with the "Colonel" in the Army where the became good friends. I have some good memories of spending time as kids with the Collisi family and many stories of the two dads when they served. (Mostly crazy stupid things they did). Remembering two great men who served our country and their families, "stand at ease" gentlemen and may god bless you and your families,
Sincerely and with love the Forest family

My Sincere Condolences to the Family. Bill had already retired by the time I started in Melrose, but I knew him from the monthly Union meetings. In later years, I'd catch him in Winston Plaza, showing off his prize car at their auto show. Or, at JEWEL grocery store. He really was a character!!

Rest easy Colonel.
I had the distinct honor of presenting him with his Gold Card signifying 50 years of membership in the National Association of Letter Carriers back in 2016. What an amazing individual.

We got to talking that evening after the meeting and as I went to leave he stopped me and said he wanted to do something for me. He then turned and saluted me. I explained that I hadn´t served and he said he didn´t care, it was in thanks for the work I do with the union. I will never forget that as long as I live. It´s a memory I lean on at times when the battles seem fruitless.

Thank you Colonel.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.
His family and friends will be in our hearts and prayers. God bless.

Sincere Condolences to Family,Friends ,and Postal Family of Branch 2183.
