To the entire Kollra family:
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of your beloved John. I attended Saint Ann's Monastery grade school with John and his brother Joseph. While I left Scranton many years ago, l was grateful to hear of John's life accomplishments. One may say that John left us prematurely, however, his spirit will be with us forever !
