Suffield Super Dad: Faustino Colon

We asked our Patch readers to send in their stories of Super Dads and here is one we received from a Suffield reader.

Father’s name and town?

Faustino Colon.

Your name, town and relationship to the nominee?

He is our father. Our names are Faustino Jr, Krystina and Maryah Colon.

Why is your dad so super?

“Our dad is so special because not only does he keep our nation safe everyday but he puts FAMILY above everything else. He is there anytime we need him. Every birthday, hospital visit, school dance or field hockey game. He teaches us the importance self-worth and giving back to others. Our dad would give the shoes off his feet if someone else needed them more. He shows us to treat others as you want to be treated and even if people do not treat you well, be kind anyways. He teaches us that we are free to make choices but that for every choice there will be a reaction and a consequence, so choose wisely. He is just everything we could have asked for in a father. A friend and a father in one. Happy Father’s Day Dad!”
