I am so, so, sorry to learn of Colie Harris's transition. I met him when I was 6 years old. He was the cool, cool teenager who lived near the end of my block. He and his group of friends adopted me as their mascot. I learned to Two-Step and Walk(slow dance) standing on his feet. He was truly my BIG BROTHER. I loved his family. Very, Very cool. I am very happy to have had the opportunity to meet this guy.

Coli and I worked at the Chicago South Location.Coli always spoke with joy,always eager to "chew the fat" .I never new what His Job was until years later in the company.He never made much mention of his title.when I found out what he did for the company I was astounded by the way he didn't need to "wave a flag" about his very, very, important position in the company.I pray you all stay strong and like you I thank the Lord for Coli.May God continue blessing You Coli....
