I would like to express my condolences to the Colom family. Although I only met Mr. Colon a handful of times, my father told many stories about the old days when he and Andy were colleagues in the T.V. repair business. He called my father "Mexico" and was a very colorful and animated man. Andy and the rest of the family are in mine and my family's prayers.
