On February 27, 2010, there was a retirement party for Colosse Eliapo at the Navy Marine Course. Attending were many of his  family, friends and co-workers. In this photograph shows (L-R) Alwyn Yoshimura, Colosse, Galen Yoshimoto and Duke Ota.

Colosse enlisted in the Hawaii Air National Guard in the late 1970s; serving as a administrative specialist in the then-154th Consolidated Aircraft Maintenance Squadron. He later cross trained into the budget section in the comptroller’s office, serving until his retirement. Sadly, he passed away in 2015.

A great Airman and a true friend.
