Born in Villalba, Puerto Rico, he was the son of the late Francisco Colòn and Eufrocina (Santiago) Colòn

He was a dedicated employee for DeSantis Mushroom in Blandon for over forty years, retiring as a foreman.

Francisco lived a life of hard work and commitment to his wife, children, and especially his beloved grandchildren. “Frankie” was a distinguished spirit that commanded respect.

Working until he was 80, he could only go part time for retirement. Later in life he relished a good Novela, the Three Stooges, or a “Gunsmoke” or “Rifleman” rerun, and constantly sang a Jibarò tune.

He always practiced his penchant for helping those in need without wavering.

Francisco left us an abundance of reasons to give thanks God sent him to us.
